Hamble Rugby Club kindly donated there old floodlights to us in Dec 07 and over the Christmas holiday a few of us have been working on getting them reinstated. As of 5pm on New years eve, Hamble United FC have their very own working floodlights on Mallards Moor.
Firstly I would like to thank Gary Camfield and Hamble Rugby Club for donating the floodlights to our club. I would also like to thank the following people for giving up even more of their free time to make sure the lights were operational by the new year.
Phil Sellen (Vice-Chairman)
Jon Staples (U10 Manager/Coach)
Matt Royl (U9's Manager/Coach)
Lee Sellen (U16,s Coach)
Andy Fielder (Electrician)
This was quite a task and I personally was very grateful for your support, this will be an invaluable facility that all our teams will benefit from. Lets hope that next time we have a project to complete we get a few new names to add to the ones above.

2/3/07 We have just been informed that the Police training College are shutting down their football pitches with immediate affect. This has been done without any regard to teams being half way through a season and with pitches being in short supply, this could prove difficult for teams to for fill their fixtures.
This will not however cause us a problem as we have secured Pitches at Mallards Moor which are Hamble Community Sports College pitches it does mean that all home games will have to be played at 12noon.
