    Old Bexhillians 3 Hastings United 2 Old Bexhillians won the top of the table clash against Hastings United and, barring disasters, will go on to win the Southern Combination League title. Everything hinged on this geriatric El Classico derby and anyone who thinks otherwise is either dim or […]

    Hastings Hornets 0 The Atha 2   The Atha completed their deadly double over Hastings Hornets today and their was little the home side could do about it. This time there were no dodgy refereeing decisions to hide behind and the Stripes just came up short in all […]

Hastings United 3 Eastbourne Borough 1 United went joint top of the league today after a 3-1 victory over Eastbourne Borough. The Old Bexhillians have a game in hand but you can hardly get a fish slice between the top two teams in terms of goal difference. Today’s visitors were […]

  Hastings United 5 The Atha 0 The Atha came to Hastings this afternoon for a spanking by their noisy neighbours. It ended 5-0 in an on-pitch flagellation which saw the home side barely break into a sweat. And in these derby matches bragging rights are everything. The phenomenal away supporters […]

  Hastings Hornets 2 Burwash 1 The Hornets have scrabbled their way off the bottom of the league with a 2-1 win against Burwash. But it was a victory that came with a sleight of hand against a much better team that simply became over-confident. If it hadn’t have been […]

  One man tore the heart out of the Hornets on Saturday. The Cookie monster scored all four goals in what looked like – on paper at least – a demolition job by the Old Bexhillians in front of their delirious home fans. But it was far from that. The […]

  The Hornets returned to winning ways today with a hard-fought one-nil win over Eastbourne. Their opener against the Atha was a disappointment but it was all smiles at The Academy as the Stripes outperformed the visitors playing the Small-Blackwell system. The lads really played for each other as a […]

  The Old Bexhillians came to Fortress Ore this afternoon and left with a deserved win. They didn’t just storm the gates of the Academy, they scaled the walls, murdered the occupants and burned the citadel – and there was little Hastings could do about it. Football at this level […]

  Indoor match 1 Indoor match 2 Football? It’s a funny old game. Tuesday night in the Neu Cage it was a shooting gallery, and the Cat was beaten 23 times in four games. Saturday afternoon at the Academy he has one of the best sessions in recent months. You […]
