It has been one of those great weekends. This morning our U14s, full of newly signed players, have won their third match on the trot, we think as an age group, Hepworth United Juniors have never done this!
Cumberworth were worthy opponents with one cheeky forward but our revitalised team cleaned in an entertaining game. I don't think we are champion material but we should make our way up the division and avoid "relegation". ACTUALLY we cant go any lower in the league!
On Saturday I was lucky to watch Cambridge University AFC play two games against "old boys". These were friendly, but pride was at stake and no quarter was given. Results didn't matter but nevertheless it was preparation for the two teams to prepare for further competitive matches against other Universities and colleges, against whom the "toffs" do rather well.
The University play and train at various college grounds around the city, with the University cricket ground outfield at Fenners the perfect surface for the 1st team. Yesterday Clare College hosted the reunion matches.
The club also uses the famous University rugby ground at Grange Road is a less than perfect surface but does give the club a "clubhouse".

Coaching the students was a Cambridge United coach who had a terrific rapport with the young lads and his club clearly benefits by being able to use the college pitches for training and playing community matches. Being "Fenland", the pitches are flat!
So a good day for Cambridge? Well not entirely. Cambridge City play in the Evo-Stick South East League and grabbed a 2-1 win away at Hartley Wintney BUT United got hammered by Luton Town 7-0.

Olly Lee scored a belter from his own half and Danny Hylton grabbed a hat trick. You have to see this:-
