There is sad news coming out of Hamworthy United this morning as the club have announced their intention to withdraw from the Southern League with immediate effect.
They have played six games in the Pitching In Southern League Division One South this season, with home games being played at the Bob Lucas Stadium, home of Weymouth FC.
“This decision has not been taken lightly,” said Chairman, Steve Mitchener, on behalf of the Board. “However, with the ongoing financial burden of being unable to play at our home ground together with the general costs of keeping a team in the Southern League, the financial position of the club has become untenable.
“In the best interests of the club we need to “re-boot” and concentrate on our Dorset Premier League team and the business.
“If this decision was not taken now, in a very short space of time there would no longer be a Hamworthy United Football Club which is something we could not let happen.
“Thank you to all the management team, players current and past, supporters and sponsors for helping us have a fantastic few years, the best the club has ever experienced.”
