uhlsport HAMPSHIRE PREMIER LEAGUE
Welcome to the uhlsport Hampshire Premier League website. An FA Accredited League, affiliated to the Hampshire Football Association. Comprising of 29 teams across two Divisions, we are a Regional Feeder League promoting into Step 6 of the National League System.
Liphook United are champions of the Senior Division. Carl Harris' side claimed the crown seven days earlier with an unfortunate home walk-over against basement side, Fleet Spurs, with the cup presented after their 4-3 victory over Hook at the Recreation Ground. LEAGUE TABLES Twenty-two wins from their 29 games meant the Recreation Ground side could not be caught with one to go. Nearest challengers, Locks Heath seven points behind with long-time leaders, Infinity - who had already wrapped their season - in third, and look set for a return to Step 6 football. Liphook will be hoping to make it a league and cup double on Saturday (May 11) as they face Hartley Wintney Development in the Aldershot & District Intermediate Cup Final at the EBB Stadium (3pm). Meanwhile, the Division One title is set to be decided on the same day, with Meon Milton needing a point to oust Hedge End Rangers at the summit - both sides already securing a top two finish.

Bishops Waltham Dynamos have won the uhlsport Hampshire Premier League Cup after defeating Locks Heath 3-1 at AFC Totton's Snows Stadium. MATCH HIGHLIGHTS - BISHOPS WALTHAM DYNAMOS 3 LOCKS HEATH 1 I t's the third year in a row that Heath have been denied the silverware, with Dynamos full value for their triumph, in their first season in the HPFL. CUP FINALS DAY - PROGRAMME DOWNLOAD Meanwhile, Hedge End Town were victorious in the George Mason Memorial Trophy earlier in the day, defeating fellow Division One outfit, Upham. Our thanks to AFC Totton for their hospitality in hosting our cup finals day for the first time.
It's Cup Finals day this coming weekend! At 1100 we have the George Mason Memorial Shield, an all-Division 1 clash as Upham play Hedge End Town - fifth against fourth, so it should be a close game. At 1500 we have the uhlsport Hampshire Premier League Cup final, with two Senior Division teams facing each other, as Bishops Waltham Dynamos, in seventh after a poor recent run, face Locks Heath, currently doing well in second; however, Locks have lost the last two finals, so anything could happen! Please note that the venue for the finals is now AFC Totton. FIXTURES We also have several league games - the situation at the top of both leagues should be much clearer after Saturday. In the Senior Division, Liphook United could clinch the title with four games to spare if they beat bottom club Fleet Spurs at home. The battle for fourth is on after Colden Common's 4-0 win over Liss Athletic in midweek, especially when Liss must travel to fifth-placed Stockbridge this weekend, and Common, now in sixth with games in hand over the other two, travel to Hayling, who also need the points urgently, as they can still be caught by Moneyfields Res, who are second-bottom with games in hand over Hayling. Moneys Res play Hook in another game at the new Cosham facility. Two teams stuck in mid-table play each other at Marsden Road as Paulsgrove take on Whitehill & Bordon. TABLES In Division 1, leaders Hedge End Rangers, already guaranteed a top-two place, play their last game, at home to third-bottom Broughton. Meon Milton can still pip them to the title if they win all their games in hand, and on Saturday they host QK Southampton at the Cockleshell. If Meon win they are also guaranteed a top two place. If they lose and HER win, then HER will be champions. Whiteley Wanderers, in third, travel to Twentyten looking to avenge the 2-1 home defeat by the same team in midweek, but that victory was Twentyten's seventh win in their last ten matches, so they are in fine form. Lyndhurst, second bottom, entertain mid-table Headley United. Written By: Paul Harris Image by: Paul Paxford
