We welcomed Tug back to training after two months away; he played brilliantly in goal, made his team look better than they were, then got a rubbish decision against him, got red-carded for dissent, packed his kit and drove home. It was a brief, but nonetheless interesting, return […]

Imagine when we are old. Really old. And we tell people we played Tottenham, Leyton Orient and Luton in in a tournament and came within a game of winning it. A) they won’t believe us and b) mightily bored they’ll be. But as strange as it sounds, the […]
Chairman fussed over his squad today on the eve of the Cheshunt tournament as if we were fragile porcelain dolls though in some cases dolls made on generous lines. Felled viciously a few weeks ago like a great tree of the forest by a clumping kick to the […]
It was another great night for the keepers on Wednesday – competition for team places are hotting up. Hastings luxuriates with six goalies and newbie Gooner Colin has already staked his claim to top spot with the front side. But tonight there was a reminder that the competition […]
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 […]

VAR controversy at our last session at Stad Geriatrica tonight. Welsh international fullback Touchline Mike thrashed a left-footer goalwards which was spilled by Nutkin in the Blues’ goal. The keeper threw himself backwards like a salmon having a heart attack and clawed the ball out as it crossed […]

Two of our keepers need to be applauded today for turning out in five training matches without a break. Ricky DLTN and The Nutkin played for 80 minutes for all three teams in a Saturday round robin at Les Academias Decrepido. There were double saves, great saves and […]
An evening’s football encapsulated in one moment: Magic Wond nutmegging Speedy Steve on the halfway line – with a deft backheel. Both lads have been out with injury – Wondy from pneumonia and Steve with a titanium hip implant- and both are back to their brilliant best. It’s […]
