THE Hampshire Premier Football League are on the lookout for a new sponsor.

New Forest Care, who provide bespoke residential childcare and outreach services, are not taking up the option of a second year as the league’s main backers.

A HPFL spokesman said: “Whilst we are disappointed by their decision, we fully appreciate this is down to operational matters and thank them for the support they have provided both to the league and our clubs in 2017/18.

"We wish them every success in the future in caring for some of the most disadvantaged youngsters in our society.

“This means, of course, that the league are actively seeking a new sponsor and any companies looking to get involved with a league which has regular coverage both with the local press and on-line.”

Anyone interested in filling the void should contact either league secretary Paul Proctor (secretary.hpfl@hotmail.co.uk) or chairman George Mason at chairman.hpfl@hotmail.co.uk.”
