Worthing Reds 5 Hastings Hornets 0   The Hornets went to Fortress Worthing in the cup and never got off the beach. The landing crafts travelled for 105 minutes but were sunk in the shallows inside ten once the whistle blew. The opening goal came as no surprise; Worthing Reds […]

    Eastbourne Borough 3 Hastings Hornets 1 Eastbourne Borough scored in the very first and last minute of their clash with the Hornets in the windiest match yet played in the Southern Combination League. Their victory was well-deserved but was far from the push-over the score line suggests on […]

    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 […]

  Burwash 0 Hastings United 1 We might often wonder about the benefits of a really vocal coach. A coach that doesn’t kick a ball but plays every tackle, every pass and every shot from the sidelines. A coach who shouts himself hoarse after 40 minutes of encouragement and masterminded […]

  Hastings Front Team 3 Hastings Hornets 0 A lost tribe in the Amazon may yet be ignorant of the fact that our two teams played each other yesterday but this deficiency will doubtless be remedied soon by an airdropped hard copy of “The Hastings Observer”. Was anybody else held […]

    Hastings O65s 2 Bexhill O68s 0   Turning back the odometer on your car is frowned upon – but if you can turn back your life-clock you’ll be cheered from the rafters. When the aggregate age of players involved in a six-a-side game of footie is more than […]
