It's Hampshire Saturday Trophy weekend and many of our clubs are in action, quite a few with a long journey to undertake. There are several league games too.

No less than four of our clubs are scheduled to make the expensive journey across the Solent to play Isle of Wight teams. The hardest trip is probably for Rushmoor Community, who are at Whitecroft & Barton Sports, regular winners of the IOW league and current unbeaten leaders.

 Shanklin have also done well in the IOW league recently, and they host Whitehill & Bordon. Teams currently in the lower half of the IOW table include Oakfield, who play Meon Milton, and Northwood St Johns, who play Headley United. Good luck to all our teams over there!

We only have one team playing a Southampton League team this time; Stockbridge are not having a great time of it in our league, and have a tricky trip to play Dynamo Dockside.

Two of our teams play reserve/U23 teams, who are a bit of an unknown quantity; Southsea Sports host Bashley U23, and Bishops Waltham Dynamos are at United Services Portsmouth Res.

We also have three all-HPFL matchups, both Hedge End teams are at home, Town face last year's beaten finalists Crofton Saints at the NormRod, which should be a good one, and Rangers face Denmead. a battle of two top five sides in the Senior Division, at the Deer Park. Overton United, top of Div One, host Moneyfields Res, in the lower reaches of the Senior Division, and may fancy their chances. 

We also have three matches in the Senior Division; Liphook United climbed out of the bottom two with a narrow win over last-placed Andover Town last weekend, this weekend see the reverse fixture at the Portway. Leaders AFC Shirley face a real test of their pedigree as they play at seventh-place Liss Athletic, and two teams currently mid-table who could go higher with a couple of good results play each other as Hook are at home to Broughton.

Four games, too, in Division One; a big game is due to take place in Romsey as third-placed AFC Netley host unbeaten second-placed Silchester Village. BTC Southampton, in fourth, will hope to continue their good start to the season as they host Mob Albion, who had that remarkable 7-3 win over Nursling & Shirley last week. Nursling & Shirley themselves will be looking to get back on track with a home game against Twentyten. Sway host Hayling United at the Jubilee Field.

Finally, there is another cup match - one of the Portsmouth variety this time, as Paulsgrove, who have done well in the cups this season, host Senior Division Locks Heath at the KGV Cosham, always a competitive match.
