  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 […]

There’s a new title up for grabs – King of the cage. And this week it goes to Matty Longshanks who loves being fenced in. He celebrated our return to confined playing spaces with three goals and a glittering display of right-wing momentum that put the rest of us in the […]
