Five games in, the top three in all four Division 1 leagues, and a few finishes too close to call.

With the break here, it's a good moment to see who's leading, who's chasing and where the margins are thinnest. Here's how the top three look in each of the four Division 1 leagues.

The South

Open – Men's Division 1 South

Richmond M1 and Teddington M1 are level on 12 points, each with four wins and one defeat from five. Richmond hold top spot on goal difference (+8 to +4), having scored 16 and conceded 8. They also won the head-to-head, beating Teddington 6-2 in their last match before the break. Hampstead & Westminster M2 sit third on 9 points after three wins, with the same +4 goal difference as Teddington.

The weekend off for Division 1 means nothing has changed at the top heading into the break, and the pressure is on Richmond to hold their lead.

Women's Division 1 South

The Women's South table is the tightest of the four. University of Exeter W1, Surbiton W2 and Southgate W1 all have 11 points from five games, with identical records of three wins, two draws and no defeats. Nobody in the top three has lost.

With nothing to separate them on results, goal difference decides the order:

• University of Exeter W1: +13 (17 scored, 4 conceded)
• Surbiton W2: +11 (13 scored, 2 conceded)
• Southgate W1: +7 (9 scored, 2 conceded)

Surbiton and Southgate have each conceded just two goals, so all three sides are hard to score against. Exeter's 17 goals scored is what keeps them in front.

The North

Open – Men's Division 1 North

University sides take the top three places in the Men's North. Loughborough Students lead on 15 points with five wins from five, and a goal difference of +16 (21 scored, 5 conceded). They are the only side in the top three still unbeaten and undrawn.

University of Birmingham are two points behind on 13 after four wins and a draw, and are also unbeaten. Durham University M1 are third on 10 points with three wins, a draw and a defeat.

Women's Division 1 North

Leeds 1 and Clifton Robinsons 1 are level on 12 points, each with four wins and one defeat. Leeds lead on goal difference (+7 to +4), so it's goal difference alone separating the top two.

Gloucester City 1 are third on 9 points. They have three wins from five but a goal difference of -2, having conceded 13 and scored 11, so they will be looking to tighten up at the back.

What to watch after the break

• Richmond and Teddington are level on points in the Men's South, with Richmond ahead on goal difference.
• Exeter, Surbiton and Southgate are level on 11 points, so one result could reshuffle the Women's South.
• Loughborough have a two-point cushion in the Men's North.
• Leeds and Clifton Robinsons are separated only by goal difference in the Women's North.
