Chawton Athletic worked hard on transfer deadline day to bring a new face to the club, ahead of their clash with old rivals West Liss on Sunday.
The Yellows swooped to poach attacker Kieran Lenachan from bottom of the table Aldershot Park Elite for an undisclosed fee - thought to be a handful of Woolworths pic 'n' mix and the promise of shiny new shorts. Lenachan was the stand out player for Elite when the two sides recently met in the Division 7 Cup and they will no doubt be devastated to lose him.
Chawton travel to Liss on Sunday for the return trip to their old Farnham League rivals, hoping to finally get the win that has thus far eluded them. With a flurry of sleet and snow, coupled with plunging night time temperatures, the game is in some doubt though - only time will tell if the Liss groundstaff are able to keep the game on.
The game represents the last league game before both clubs play the Division 7 Cup semi-final.

Cup Draws and Upcoming Fixtures
Chawton Athletic have been given two home draws in the next round of the Eric Holbrook and Hampshire Cups.
Later this month they welcome the Blackwater Badgers to Jubilee Park in the second round of the Eric Holbrook Cup. A fortnight later they make their Hampshire Cup debut at home to King George FC from Southampton. Both matches will prove to be tough encounters but the team are more than capable of winning both!
Sandwiched in between the cup matches is a trip to Farnham for the reverse fixture against Aldershot Park Elite, who will hope to have improved since the 11-0 thrashing handed to them in Chawton's first game of the season. They'll hope to have a full eleven fit too, no doubt!
But up tomorrow are the Camberley Cougars. Badgers, cougars? The club's in talks with Marwell Zoo as we speak...

Reportage Has Begun, Ahead of Snowy Weekend.
Chawton Athletic now have further media coverage, with confirmation that match reports are now featuring in a number of local newspapers.
Confirmed so far are the Farnham Herald and the Alton Post Gazette. The Herald will feature short match reports, but the Post Gazette this week featured the full report from Chawton's defeat at Rushmoor Celtic. Neither has appeared on the publications' websites as of yet.
Hopefully, if the game goes ahead, the side can give the newspapers something positive to report! Currently the match against Lindford at the Rec looks doubtful, with the pitch doubtless covered in snow. But secretary Marc T-P is planning to clear it tomorrow to give it a chance of thawing for Sunday's match. Much probably also depends on whether Binsted is readily accessible, given that is not a major road!

Committees Shakes Up Management.
The Club has changed the way the playing side is run, as assistant and Treasurer Carlos Waterfield is promoted to Team Manager. Marc Taylor-Penfold will Club Captain.
The decision has been made as Marc wishes to concentrate on on-pitch events. Carlos has struggled to make in-roads into the first team and has increasingly been helping from the sidelines, thus it is an obvious situation.
Carlos' first official match in charge is this weekend's trip to Castle City. The meeting time is 1PM, as the game is an afternoon kick off, with the Hop Poles Car Park (known as Mount Pleasant Car Park) as the venue. Chawton's opponents have only conceded four goals in six games, so the team will have to take any chances that come their way.
Training is still being sorted by Marc, with Sunday's venue one possible place to train!

Chawton Debutants Ready for Celtic Challenge!
Chawton Athletic's new-look line-up is ready to take on Rushmoor Celtic in their first ever game in the Aldershot and District Sunday Football League.
The club submitted eighteen forms, which are now cleared for this Sunday's big kick off. The new team has no less than ten players that could make their debuts in the match and has seen good turn-outs in the recent training sessions as the whole squad pushes hard for that elusive starting berth.
The Binsted based side are keen to take the positives from their friendly defeat at rivals West Liss two weeks ago and turn it into a winning start. Their opponents lost their opening game of the season, but recorded a first win on Sunday and will be keen to keep up momentum. But Athletic, in their third season, are more than capable of taking three points at the weekend and turning their home pitch into a fortress.
Meeting spot is 09:15 at Anstey Park, Alton to leave at 09:30. If players are going stright to the ground, be there no later than 09:45. Maps and directions (pretty easy from Alton - through Holybourne!) are on the Club Info page.
