All our local football sides are in action last weekend, Petersfield the Rams have a cup and league game after narrowly missing out on beating Southampton in a penalty shootout recently https://www.petersfieldtownfc.co.uk/ and the newly promoted women's side are in relentless form just now and have taken their new league by storm with a perfect win record from their first 3 games. The very talented Liss side have wobbled a little recently but nobody there hit the panic button. But can there a bigger test than facing league leaders Shirley in their backyard. Does the result here show who the best team in the league is perhaps? https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/lissathletic And talking of facing league leaders, thats exactly what Pompey's task on Saturday was. Middlesborough are travelling a long way and will not expect to return north with no points. Both men's and women's hockey seasons are under way now but to date, neither of the first sides have scored league points thus far. Fortunes must surely turn around https://www.petersfieldhockeyclub.com/ . In the rugby, our much improved and title hungry Petersfield side are looking for more points this time away to Chobham, a side they were beaten by last time around. If they are serious about a title challenge this season, this is exactly the type of game that needs a win. https://www.petersfieldrfc.club/
