England Football has launched a new resources hub for clubs, to further support grassroots clubs and organisations around the country, in recognising the impact that the current cost of living crisis is having on our national game. Its aim is to inform and direct participants, clubs and leagues to useful resources, funding tips, facilities grants and other opportunities to support the game. You can visit the resource hub here: England Football - Cost of Living Resources Hub

Since the organisation of the Under 18 clubs into 4 Divisions of 10, four teams have advised us that they are unable to fulfil any fixtures. Three Divisions would be starting short of teams/fixtures which would be exacerbated if we had any further withdrawals. The Management Committee has decided unanimously that we will disband the Premier Division and divide the remaining teams as follows producing three Divisions of 12: Central Division: AFC Portchester U18, Tadley Calleva, Winchester City Reds East Division: Fareham Town Reds, Gosport Borough, Winchester City Black West Division: Brockenhurst, Hamworthy United
