Burridge Football Club has been awarded £2,800 to buy two-freestanding goal posts for its members.
The club would like to purchase the new goal posts to enable them to move the pitch location during the wetter months of the year and ensure games can be played.
Barrie Becheley, chairman of the club said matches on their own pitch at Botley Road had been restricted since October because of bad weather.
They hoped to move the pitch to another spot on that field with new goal posts that can be removed when the weather is bad to stop rusting, unlike the current posts, which are around 18 years old and cemented into the ground.
The club has been playing as many away games as possible and when hosting a game they have had to use other pitches in the Western Wards.
“That’s why we need new posts so that we’d have nice goals with a nice pitch,” he said. “We’re hoping to have them all ready for September. We’ve got to play our season out first using the pitch. You never know we might get good weather.”
More 70 club members and any other users of this sporting venue will benefit from the new goals.
The cash was awarded by Fareham Borough Council and Hampshire County Council community funding.
The football club itself will pay £314, bringing the total of the project to £3,114.
