It was a day of mixed starts for our two teams in the new Southern Combination League. Both were away: The Fronts notched a great two-nothing win at Eastbourne, but the Hornets went down fighting 3-2 in Bexhill. The matches had a heady cocktail of goals, smart play and […]

So, with the Big Beasts of the Front Side playing well together at training, attention turns to the Hornets. Their opener against The Atha on Saturday will be a stiff test and nobody envies the selectors who have to decide on a winning team. There was much to celebrate […]
Erling Jaayland gave a master class in shooting in The New Cage tonight. The Spanish Bun boy put The Cat to the sword with a seven-goal display over three matches. And – despite the fact that every goal was an identical inside-foot curler into the far corner – there was […]
The Spanish Bun Boy was on fire at the Academy today. El Jay hit four in four games as the Front Side started its preparation for the upcoming season. But if you thought the big hitters had it all their own way then think again. They were given a tough […]

Just what HUWFC needs – another brilliant keeper. The goalkeepers’ union’s ranks at the club – Ricky, The Cat, Nutkin and Tug – was recently swelled by the arrival of Peter who impressed on his debut. But today Big Colin arrived, a huge Arsenal fan, and the gooner […]
