It's with regret that we have received the resignation of Clarendon Juniors from the Hampshire Premier League.

The Salisbury-based outfit had suffered five defeats from their opening Division One fixtures, citing player availability and challenges in fielding a competitive side.

Clarendon's withdrawal leaves our Division One competition with 13 sides, with their results to be expunged and tables adjusted, following ratification at the next League committee meeting later this month.
