I have table that I need to retrieve the top 2 records, the issue is I have 3 records with the same date, but I only want the first 2. Each record looks something like this.

id, team, date, setnr, series
1, 3, 1/1/2013, 1, 1102
1, 3, 1/1/2013, 2, 1231
1, 3, 1/1/2013, 3, 1023
1, 3, 1/5/2013, 4, 1024
1, 3, 1/5/2013, 5, 1123
1, 3, 1/5/2013, 6, 1232
2, 2, 1/1/2013, 1, 1032
2, 2, 1/1/2013, 2, 1221
2, 2, 1/1/2013, 3, 1023
2, 2, 1/5/2013, 4, 1231
2, 2, 1/5/2013, 5, 1112
2, 2, 1/5/2013, 6, 1231

I have to be able to add the series up of only the first two records for each id based on date. Here is a sample query

select sum(series), date from table group by date order by sum(series) desc

This gives me the total for all three and gives it to me in descending order. I need the records for set 1 and 2 of each of the Id. There are many records but the date and the setnr doesn't duplicate.

Thanks for any help you can get....
