Martin Smith replaces JC Chrissy on the Town Council.

A Liberal Democrat, he works as a physio in the NHS (working in Borden). 

He tells Mike Waddington why he stood and why the Festival Hall development is something he’s interested in.

He enjoys sport - liking golf, swimming, tennis and horse riding, but fears he won't have as much time with this public role and his job in the NHS.

Meet Martin Smith, the new Petersfield Town Councillor for Ramshill

It's been a difficult time for Petersfield women's rams football side. A victim of their own success jumping 3 leagues in just 2 seasons. But although results have not gone their way in the new division so far, there is a chance to progress in the Plate competition where they take on a Portchester side at home. Shine radio take a trip to Smartspaces stadium to see how they got on. https://petersfieldtownfc.co.uk/ . As for the men's side it's also been a rough ride with points tough to come by. They need a win and with 2 league games in a week against Hythe and then strugglers Bournemouth there are opportunities. With Liss Athletic, no such struggles just now as they rapidly climb up the league table from 16th to 9th in just a few weeks. In a cup match, their opposition is Select generation in what turned out to be a titanic tussle. https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/lissathletic/ . And also in football, Liphook mens side with their unpredictable style are in cup action against Northwood. https://www.liphookunitedfootballclub.org/ . It is fair to say that Petersfield hockey has had a tough start for both the men's and women's sides so far. But the women have had some surprising successes recently. Against 3rd placed Romsey they are sure to be tested with no goalkeeper to speak of. The men, desperate for their first win head to Bournemouth. https://www.petersfieldhockeyclub.com/. Our table tennis teams have had mixed starts. Our A side took a few games to get into their stride but the B side top the table with impressive wins. Petersfield A take on the C side this week and the B side have a tough encounter with Headley A side. https://www.petersfieldttclub.org.uk/
