Hawkhurst United 1 Hurst 1
10/12/11 The early stages of this game were more like an episode of Holby City than a football match as the Hawks lost Rob Chandler with a dislocated finger (wuss!), Grant Hyner with a chest infection (whingeing Australian!) and George Lawrence with man boy-flu. The game had barely started before Matt Todd had to go [...]
Hawkhurst United 3 Battle Rangers 1
03/12/11 The Hawks made a good start to this ESFL Div 3 clash against a strong Battle Rangers side that have had some improved results recently.

Peche Hill Select II 1 Hawkhurst United 5
26/11/11 The blusterly conditions ensured that this East Sussex League Division 3 encounter was never go to be a classic and the absence of leading striker Balders and defensive linchpin Hyner meant Batesy had to shuffle his pack again with the Hawks going for a 3-5-2 formation. The Hawks failed to get to grips with the difficult conditions [...]
Hawkhurst Utd 2Herstmonceux 2
19/11/11 After the disappointment of last week’s result it was important for the Hawks to roll up their sleeves and try and get back to winning ways, but it was never going to be easy against a Herstmonceux side that had held Hawkhurst to a 2-2 draw at their place in October. Skipper Chris Golding [...]
Orington 4 Hawkhurst Utd 2
12/11/11 At the start of the game these top two teams were separated by seven points but with Orington having 2 games in hand it was clear that this fixture was going to play its part in deciding the outcome of ESFL Div 3. The home side dominated the early stages with Rob Chandler saving [...]
Cranbrook Town 0 Hawkhurst Utd 2
29/10/11 Cranbrook had much the better of the first half of this ESFL Div 3 clash although their all round good play failed to produce any reward. Their two best chances came from a curling shot that came back off the bar and a scramble after keeper Rob Chandler had half-cleared on the edge of [...]
Battle Baptists 1 Hawkhurst Utd 7
