WELCOME BILLY WOOD CHAIRMAN / CEO

Happy New Year to everyone as we are back in League action at The Continental Pilot Field.

I would like to firstly welcome the board, management, coaches, staff, players and supporters of Hornchurch who have been one of the standout teams this season.

Boxing Day was a great day here, not only is it always lovely to get 3 points off a Sussex rival but another bumper crowd with over 1,600 attending. The last time Lewes came to the Pilot Field on a Boxing Day 700 were in attendance, so it just shows how far this club has come.

Gary and his staff are really getting the best out of this squad, we are seven games unbeaten and today will be a real test, a test they are ready for.

So 2023, a new year, what does that bring? For Hastings United I hope it means we stay in Hastings, we continue to be competitive on the pitch and you never know could another promotion be on the cards? For me personally, I hope for more success and to keep pushing myself to achieve in the right environments both outside and inside football.

2022 was some year, let’s get off to a cracker today.
