East Hoathly Eagles 0-22 Hastings United
25/10. This was a day when you had to feel sorry for your opponents. East Hoathly started the game with only nine players having turning up, with one of the absentees being their goalkeeper. United went about theor business with the same positive attitude that they have shown in their previous three league outings though, and the scoreline had already reached double figures by the half time interval. United's management team decided to move some players around, in an attempt not to totally demoralise the home side, putting the strikers in defence, and moving the defenders up front. As a result, by the end of the game, every outfield player had scored at least once, the highlight of the day being Joseph Long scoring his first competitive goal in youth football for eight years.

The man of the match award went to Callum Fisher, who had a brilliant game at left back, linking up well with Lewis Hutchinson, who scored twice, in midfield, and scoring his first goal for the Club as well. There were also first goals of the season for Aaron Jay and Jack Woodward. Dion Pearce helped himself to five goals, Toby Shaw, who had a fine game at right wing, grabbed four, and Ryan Jinks continued his rich vein of scoring form with four of his own. Alfie Denness was also impressive again in midfield, getting on the scoresheet, while Scott Chisholm doubled his usual season's tally with a fine shot from a corner. The scoring was completed with an own goal. Full credit has to be given to East Hoathly though, as despite the heavy scoreline, they still tried to play football, and were given a rousing three cheers by the United team at the end for their effort.

Hastings United 9-1 Roselands Junior
18/10. United returned to league action, after a one week break without a fixture, and showed the continued progress that they have made, since moving up to the Crowborough League. Dan Horan opened the scoring, following up like all good strikers, when the Roselands keeper collided with one of his own defenders. leaving Dan with an open net. Scott Chisholm then scored his first goal of the season, with a beautiful strike from the edge of the area. The score then remained unchanged until after half time, when United took complete control of the game right from the kick off, with Ryan Jinks completing his third hattrick in as many league matches. An own goal added to United's tally, and Dan Horan scored three more goals himself, to earn him a joint man of the match award with Scott Chisholm, who was once again a rock in defence.

United squad: Jon Clevett, Callum Fisher, Jack Woodward, Joseph Long, Scott Chisholm, Alfie Denness, Toby Shaw, Lewis Hutchinson, Dion Pearce, Aaron Jay, Ryan Jinks, Dan Horan.

Tonbridge Invicta 2-10 Hastings United
4/10. United travelled to Tonbridge for their second league match of the season, and continued their fine form to date. By half time, the score was 5-1, thanks to goals from Toby Shaw, Dion Pearce, Alfie Denness and two from Ryan Jinks, one being a "Ronaldo" style free kick from midway inside the Tonbridge half, which found the top left hand corner of the net. United continued in the same way into the second half, and played some brilliant football again, with Jinks side-footing a shot from the halfway line over the keeper's head for his hattrick, before adding his fourth of the game. Denness was once again solid in midfield, getting on the scoresheet twice, alongside Shaw, who grabbed a great hattrick with some outstanding wing play, and Callum Fisher had a fine match in defence. Dan Horan also scored, and lead the front line with pace, never letting the Tonbridge defence settle. The man of the match award went to two goal Pearce, for his fine all-round display.

United squad: Jon Clevett, Callum Fisher, Joseph Long, Jack Woodward, Scott Chisholm, Alfie Denness, Toby Shaw, Lewis Hutchinson, Dion Pearce, Ryan Jinks, Dan Horan.

Hastings United 11-0 Uckfield United
27/9. United's first foray into the Crowborough League Cup competition saw them move comfortably into the second round today. Uckfield started the match with only nine players available, but did themselves proud, holding firm for twenty minutes, until Dan Horan broke the deadlock. By half time, United were four goals ahead, and the U's continued to dominate in the second period, with Toby Shaw helping himself to four goals, and Lewis Hutchinson completing a hattrick as well. Horan collected a brace, while Ryan Jinks and Dion Pearce also scored, but United's man of the match went to Alfie Denness, who was outstanding in midfield, pulling the strings to create a large number of chances for his strikers, but also giving superb protection to his defence.

United squad: Jon Clevett, Callum Fisher, Joseph Long, Jack Woodward, Scott Chisholm, Alfie Denness, Aaron Jay, Toby Shaw, Lewis Hutchinson, Ryan Jinks, Dan Horan, Dion Pearce.

Roselands Junior 1-10 Hastings United
20/9. United made the perfect start to the season, in their first match in a new league. The U's began the game poorly, and gave away a soft goal, which at least seemed to kick them into gear, and the home team were soon under pressure. There were fine debuts for Callum Fisher, Aaron Jay and Lewis Hutchinson, the latter helping himself to a couple of goals. United's man of the match though was four goal hero Ryan Jinks, combining some wonderful finishing with some glorious passing, which allowed Toby Shaw to grab a couple of goals too, with Dan Horan and Alfie Denness also on target.

United squad: Jon Clevett, Callum Fisher, Joseph Long, Jack Woodward, Scott Chisholm, Alfie Denness, Aaron Jay, Toby Shaw, Lewis Hutchinson, Ryan Jinks, Dan Horan.
