Local news for Monday 21st September

It's a  tough time in the football for our Petersfield sides right now as the men are knocked out of 2 cup competitions last week and the women's side are looking for their first point since being bumped up 2 divisions to Hampshire Division 2 last season. It's back to league action for the men this week as they take on tough opponents Hamble away on Tuesday and then welcome Brockenhurst to the Smartspaces Stadium on Saturday. the Shine Radio team were at the game petersfieldtownfc.co.uk . As for women's side, it's a tricky fixture against a gritty Romsey side. There's no 2 ways of saying it but Liss are in freefall just now and points are rare as are goals. Can they turn around their fortunes as they play an out-of-sorts side in Crofton Saints at the West Leigh stadium. https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/lissathletic/. Liphook United are arguably our most in form side as it stands although predicting which side turns up at matches is a bit of a fool's game. But in Denmead they have another great chance of picking up all three points. https://www.liphookunitedfootballclub.org/ . We have hockey news for you as both the men's and women's sides look for early form. The women are involved in a 10 goal thriller against West Meon and our men's team travel overseas to Isle of Wight https://www.petersfieldhockeyclub.com/ .  And we take a look at Petersfield Rugby clubs chances of success in 2026/7 as their delayed league campaign will begin at home on Saturday the 26th September soon to be followed by the women's historic return to competitive sport. https://www.petersfieldrfc.club/
