League football returns this weekend

Another season is upon us! League football returns to the AEC Protection Ground this Saturday. We're hosting Totton & Eling as both sides kick off their new campaigns in Wessex Division One.

The match kicks off at 3pm. £6 entry, programmes on the gate and the bar and clubhouse are open for hot food and refreshments. Don't forget if you still have your programme from the Beggar's Fair, you can get free entry!

Club volunteer Dave Tudor has done a fantastic job getting the pitch at the AEC Protection Ground ready for the new season, huge thanks to him. We're very lucky to have him as we open the new season with three consecutive home games!

During pre-season, our first team took on Winchester Castle, Hamble, Brockenhurst, Colden Common and Blackfield & Langley and are now ready and raring for a big season ahead.

We're pleased to have retained much of the squad from last season as well as adding a few new faces in key areas of the squad.

The development squad also had a busy pre-season facing the likes of Hamworthy United Reserves, Folland Sport Reserves and St. Francis. They start their new season on 20 August at home to Laverstock & Ford.
