Now we have all been watching the dramatic events unfolding in the Arab world. A Winchester student is increasingly concerned for his father, who has been caught up in the political unrest in Bahrain.

Police arrested three other people on suspicion of the murder, two of them were released without charge on Saturday. She will reappear in court on the 6th of May.

OOV. In other news, a local policeman was mowed down by a driver in the middle of the night outside the back of Southampton nightclub, Flares, on Sunday.

After winning the BUCS cup last year, Winchester University Mens Football went into this year's quarter final on the brink of setting a new league record. Mikey Smith saw the action.

Basingstoke Town were threatened with falling into the relegation places after a poor run of form. Gareth Messenger went to see if they could stop the rot away to Staines Town.

And in another result from last night, Basingstoke Town failed to build on their promising point away to Staines as they went down 1-0 away to midtable Dartford.
And here is how it has affected the Blue Square South Table.

Basingstoke move down two places with that defeat, they are still 10 points off the relegation places. But sides below them have games in hand.

Eastleigh fell further behind the play-off pack as their game was called off on Monday night. The Spitfires lay four points off fifth place Welling, but they have two games in hand.

That's all the sport from me, back to Andrew.
