A number of games over a number of competitions but again the weather played a part wit the loss of the Division One fixture between Andover New Street and Ash United, the Russell Cores Cup tie at Follands, the Portsmouth Senior Cup tie at Horndean and the Southampton Senior Cup ties at Alresford, Ringwood and Hythe and Dibden.  AFC Stoneham’s visit to Fratton Park was also postponed due to Portsmouth’s involvement in the EFL Cup, which took precedence on the evening,


The most significant of the completed fixtures was in the Premier Division where Baffins Milton Rovers defeated Bournemouth five one and joined Horndean and Brockenhurst on 54 points at the top of the table, Bournemouth actually took the lead through an own goal but goals from Oscar Johnstone, Craig McAllister, Jason Parish, Ed Sanders and James Cowan gave the home side an ultimately comfortable victory. Moneyfields moved into the last four of the Russell Cotes Cup with an impressive five three victory over Southern League Lymington Town with the goals coming from Steve Hutchings (2), Joe Briggs, Josh Bailey and Elliot Turnbull.


In the two games completed in the Southampton Senior Cup Romsey defeated New Milton two nil courtesy of goals from Ollie Jenkins and Pearce Farren and Downton went down five nil at Winchester City. Finally, Portland’s attempt to reach the Final of the Dorset Senior Cup ended at the semi final stage with a three nil defeat at Poole Town.


Lastly, one game on Wednesday with Fawley defeating Southampton Senior League side BTC Southampton five two on the Waterside. We were only supplied with the surnames of the goal scorers and Full Time is not up to date, so if the Christian names are wrong in any respect then apologies to all. The five goals came from Alec Sawyer (2),Keiron Roche, Jake Smith and Steven Green – three in the first half and two after the break.`

The Wessex League is encouraging its member clubs to explore the opportunities available through the Premier League Stadium Fund , which continues to invest in improving football facilities across England and Wales. Having invested more than £226 million into over 1,000 clubs , the Premier League Stadium Fund is helping transform the non-league matchday experience by supporting projects that enhance facilities for players, volunteers and supporters alike. Funding is available for a wide range of projects, including floodlights, spectator accommodation, pitch improvements, changing facilities, barriers and other essential infrastructure that helps clubs meet ground grading requirements and provide a better environment for their local communities. Clubs considering improvements to their facilities are urged to engage with the Fund at the earliest opportunity to discuss their project and determine eligibility. Investment in facilities not only strengthens clubs on matchdays but also helps secure their long-term future, enabling them to grow participation, improve accessibility and continue serving their local communities for years to come. For further information and to begin an application, visit the Premier League Stadium Fund website or speak to your County FA or League representative for guidance.

AFC Stoneham have started the season where they left off the last - collecting more silverware in the form of the Wessex League Charity Cup, following a 3-1 success over Hamble Club. Proceeds from the occasion supported the Geoff Smith Legacy Fund - supporting young children in local communities on their football journeys, set-up in memory of the long-serving AFC Stoneham Chairman who sadly passed away in May. Kian Towse and Braydon Douglas gave the hosts a 2-0 advantage into the interval, before Harry Hamilton pulled one back for the League Cup winners without around ten left to play.
