Congratulations to the Liphook Downlands Cubs' Football Team
As you may have seen in the Petersfield Post, the Liphook Downlands Cubs' Football Team took part in the Petersfield District Cubs six-a-side tournament on Saturday 10 March and won the District Cup. Most of the team are or were members of our Liphook United Under 10s, the 'Liphook Knights'.
On Sunday 21 March, the Liphook Downlands Team represented the Petersfield District in the Hampshire Cubs six-a-side tournament at Eastleigh. All the way to the final, the team won their matches in style with scores of 1-0, 5-0, 1-0, 2-0 and 4-1. Then in a tense final, New Forest West came out on top 2-0. Even so, as runners-up in the Cubs County tournament the team put up a brilliant performance, taking the Petersfield District to the final for the first time.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month - What a success!
Throughout October over 35 female teams and 18 referees in association with Hampshire FA made special efforts to raise money for Cancer Research UK's 'Join the Fight' campaign to combat Breast Cancer.
Pre-match warm ups in pink, raffles and games are just a couple of examples of how funds have been raised to support this important cause. Efforts by teams all across our county including Basingstoke Town Ladies, Widbrook United and Crofton Saints have made the grand total exceed £4,000!
Liphook United Ladies went the whole hog and turned their match into a fundraising event. Children took part in a penalty shoot out and even ran a competition to guess the number of balloons in a car! Refreshments were sold, along with running a raffle, tombola and cake sale. The total raised by Liphook United Ladies was an incredible £800, a massive contribution to the grand total. Players wore pink socks and sweat bands during the game and the goalkeeper even played in a tutu to mark everyone's continued support and awareness.
Justine Mosley, Women and Girls Football Development Officer for Hampshire FA who also plays for Basingstoke Town Ladies, said: "I am really pleased with the number of clubs and referees in Hampshire that supported this very worthy cause. The amount of work put in by some of the clubs has been absolutely fantastic! As well as raising awareness about breast cancer across the County, the profile of the female game has also been highlighted. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those individuals who have supported this campaign throughout October."

Liphook United FC played Nursling FC in the Hampshire Saturday Intermediate Cup final on 30 April 2008 at Andover New Street FC.
Liphook delivered an excellent performance against a strong Nursling side who certainly showed that they wanted the cup as much as we did, but our strength, fitness, speed and skill were evident for all to see.
The team beat Nursling 2-1 in normal time with second half goals from Dominic Cope (FA Man of the Match) and Adam Pierson.

Liphook United Under 15s - NEHYL U15 League Cup Winners 2007/8
Liphook United played Crookham Rovers in the North East Hampshire Youth Under 15 League Cup final on 27 April 2008. Liphook had reached the U15 semi-finals on three previous occasions but had just missed out on a place in the final, so the team were determined to make it a day to remember.
It was a very closely contested match. Liphook took the lead halfway through the first half with a goal by Liam Welch. Crookham came back with a goal in the second half, but, with five minutes left, captain Lewis Graham scored to lead Liphook to victory.
Final score: Liphook United 2, Crookham Rovers 1.
The players were presented with their trophies and the Under 15 League Cup by Geoff Bedford, chairman of the North East Hampshire Youth League.
