HOBOS WITHDRAWAL HARD TO DIGEST ... ?

Tadley Hobos, who pipped Fair Oak seconds to the County Division 3 title last season, have had to withdraw from the Hampshire League due to a shortage of players.  It means County 2 will play with 17 teams throughout the remainder of the season.  Clubs without fixtures on the 'Hobos date' should remember that, consequent upon Flamingo pulling out pre-season, there will be a CD3 North club 'free' every Saturday should they wish to arrange a friendly match.
