An excellent weekend at the club, as all three sides in action all won. The first team secured their first league win of the season with an entertaining 3-4 win over Corinthian Casuals on Saturday.
Whilst the first team were on their travels the u21’s continued their fantastic start to the season with a two nil victory over Epsom & Ewell, the result means they are the only team in their league with a one hundred percent start to the season, well done lads.
Sunday was the start of the County Youth League and our County u18’s made an impressive start with a 2-3 win away to last years league champions Mile Oak.
Just to say a big well done to the grounds staff for a fantastic pitch for the start of the season (pictured below), well done guys superb!

Wes Tate & Josh Jones bagged themselves two goals each today as ‘The Hawks’ finally ended Hartley Wintney’s hopes of a cup upset. The Hawks carried on from where they left off on Saturday creating chance after chance but failing to make any count, either by poor finishing, good goalkeeping and excellent defending from a resiliant Hartley side. Jaie Brotherton even saw his penalty brilliantly saved by the opposing keeper.
There was one big difference from Saturday and that was, that Hartley did not have the same emphisis on attacking, The Hawks were pretty much camped in their opponents half for large periods of the game. The deadlock was eventualy broken mid way through the second half when Wes Tate slotted home from close range and shortly after crafted out his scond, after some neat footwork in the box. Josh Jones, recently returning from fitness was introduced and bagged himself a Brace as Hartley Wintney’s spirit had finally been broken. Fair play to Hartley for an excellent couple of games and we wish them all the best for the season….
The Hawks will now face Maidstone United in the next round at home on the 11th September… More details on todays game to follow.
