Farnham and District Sunday League Division One disbands!

The Farnham and District Sunday league has announced yet another team has withdrawn from the open age Division One and therefore it has become impractical to run this division and therefore it has been disbanded.

Here is the announcement in full from League Chairman Mr Dave Parsells -

"Ladies and Gentlemen,With regret, I have to announce that, following the decision of Lindford F.C. to follow Royal Oak F.C. in disbanding their Open Age team, it will not be practical to run Division One this season. As this competition has run continuously sincethe 1962-3 season, it is a disappointing situation, one with no obvious resolution. The matter is beyond the control of the committee,who apologise to West Liss, and Chawton Athletic, who made early decisions to continue to support the depleted competition. Dave Parsells."

It has come at an ideal time for me at the end of my first season back playing cricket after 6 years, and so with that in mind I have decided to now retire from playing football and to cease my involvement with Chawton Athletic.

The interest that the team seemed to be getting pre-season playing numbers wise was extremely encouraging and I suspest with a little bit of hard work the team can easily survive, I hope for those of you who wish to continue to play football especially for Chawton Athletic that someone steps up to volunteer to run the team.

Matt
