Burwash came to Hastings and dismantled the Hornets on the last day of the season. The nil-one score line could have been a hatful if it hadn’t have been for a super performance in goal from The Cat. Despite the single goal scoreline Burwash – who completed the double over […]

The League Champions went to Battle for their last season outing and came away with a solid win. The 2-1 victory was hard fought but the United shot count was 19 to the Knights’ 12. Luckily most shots on both sides were well wide of the mark or it could […]
Hastings United are the Premiership champions. They won the Age UK East Sussex league title with a four-nil demolition of Eastbourne Borough at the packed Academias Decrepidos this afternoon. It puts them five points clear of Battle at the top with only one game left to play. A near-capacity crowd […]
Another super turn-out for training at Les Academias tonight and a great display of sportsmanship. A year ago little striker Oh My Cod! would have 20 shots in a night and easily score five goals. He lived for goals and preferred them to selling fish and chips, probably deserving the […]
Some 22 lads stirred themselves for a scintillating Saturday soccer session in the sunshine. ( OK I know it’s football but I was into the alliteration thing). The heat was too much for at least one anonymous lad who flounced off with better things to do – and I found […]
Hastings United are through to the next round of the O50s Walking Football Cup with a 4-1 thumping of Canterbury at Las Academias. The visitors arrived in style on a luxury coach but it was the only easy ride they were given on the night. Hastings went ahead after eight […]
The inaugural Hastings United Walking Football tournament was won by Brighton Dolphins. More than 160 ageing footballers turned out to play 37 games of our beautiful game on the hallowed turf at Pilot Field and, such was the standard, that only 20 goals were scored in open play. The home […]
Eve of tournament training tonight at Les Academias. Hornets’ manager Massive Mark laid on an excellent skills workshop: trapping, passing, ball-facing and pinging, and Chairman Phil did the fitness work-out – nothing too strenuous before our club’s biggest test against 15 other teams at Pilot Field. So when it came […]
Eight competitive 10-minute games between three teams of seven and only four goals scored. That is unheard of at Hastings United – the home of walking football. But four goals at the Academias Decrepido was all we got. The cause? Toothless striking? Brilliant goalkeeping from three front-line goalies and an […]
The Hornets were exterminated tonight by Burwash in a mid-table championship clash. Playing away in a Robertsbridge sports hall, the Hastings lads had 70 per cent of the possession but succumbed to a 3-1 defeat to a team we really should have bested. It all started well with a goal […]
