"Hundon Astro"

Run by the Hundon Sports Association

After 10 years of good use the astro carpet has worn to a point where it is necessary to replace the surface in order to maintain the quality of play for all users. Unfortunately this will mean the pitch being out of use for 2 weeks during September from Monday 12^th to Friday 23^rd whilst this work is completed.

Since the introduction of the electronic entry system there has been an increase in youngsters climbing over the fencing to gain access. We would appeal to parents whose children play out in the village to ensure that they do not climb the fences as they are not designed for this purpose and could easily buckle or collapse if climbed on or clothing may become snagged causing a fall. We are concerned that an accident will happen if this continues. We may feel the need to coat the tops of the gate and fences with anti climb paint as a deterrent. This paint is non harmful but makes a nasty gooey sticky mess of clothing and skin and is hard to remove. Basically anyone who is supposed to be inside the pitch will have an entry card and will have no need to be climbing in. Details of how to obtain memberships are below.

Clubs who wish to book sessions for the autumn/winter 2011/12 season should be aware that there are now only limited sessions left available and these are allocated on a first come basis.

For further information on pitch bookings of memberships please contact Stewart Alderman on 01440 786769 or 07725516265 or alternatively e mail at stewart.alderman@fsmail.net

Hundon Cricket Club News 1^st October 2011

I keep banging on about this and you might be getting a little tired of hearing this particular scratched record, but we do have something to shout about! Why do we have so many competitive junior and senior teams playing cricket in our village? Because we have so much interest and a pro-active group of players and supporters who are prepared to make it happen. It's not all about winning, it's about involvement: participating in and supporting the club, and, of course, preserving interest within the village.

It isn't just cricket either, Hundon soccer has benefited for many years in exactly the same way, supporting far more teams than a village of our size could ever hope to achieve.

Maybe there are a few main 'movers and shakers' but it's the support and interest from others that is the sustainable factor for our cricket club, creating a membership of over 80 active junior & senior players. They may not all live in Hundon as it's not possible to sustain our teams from the village alone, but like the school, shop and pub, we have to attract others from outside. This healthy membership helps us to succeed - for example, our first team won both the cup and Division 2 championship - which is beneficial to the village in many ways.

So, we are in the enviable position of having a senior team in the 1^st Division, our 2^nd team in the 3^rd Division and probably two junior sides, U11 & U13, for next year's season. Watch this space!

My thanks go out to all who have supported the club behind the scenes, but particularly to Jamie Letts our stalwart ground preparer, who works so hard during the closed season to prepare an excellent playing surface and to Chris Beaumont who keeps the finances on track and pays the fines and who, after many years, has reluctantly decided to hang up his cheque book. I'd also like to thank our junior coaches, Andy Harrison, Will Barthorpe, Nigel Packer & Mark Jolland, who provide the backbone to the club and I hope will do the same again next year.

We will have our AGM in January (date tbc) and this time round will definitely need to see some new blood. We used to have three officers positions filled, but now there is only me and that is not sustainable!

STOP PRESS

It has just been confirmed that our U11s have been crowned joint league winners of the Borders League after finishing joint top with Haverhill. A fabulous result and a great achievement by the team.

As in the past the fixtures will also appear monthly in the Herald from May onwards.

HUNDON HAWKS

August 2010
Hundon Hawks are currently looking for more players for their under 9s, under11s and under 12sge groups.
For the under 9s contact Rob Knight 01440 710933
For the under 11 contact Gavin Bell 01440 702365
For the under 12s contact Brian Holmes 01440 786857

Originally formed in 2004 as an under 12 team out from the remnants of Glemsford Gladiators under 11's, the Hundon Hawks have grown rapidly to the extent that season 2007/2008 will feature 6 teams at different age groups playing in the Cambridgeshire mini league and Cambs Colts Leagues.

Hawks best year ever in terms of results so far. Despite dropping back from 6 to 5 teams, the club is in great shape, the only big disappointment having been the weather which has disrupted the season and left a couple of the teams with too many matches to play between now and the end of the season.
In mini league football:- The under 9s under new management this year have struggled a bit and have not won any games however, there are definite signs of improvement as scores are getting closer. The under 10s have had a storming season and sit 2nd in their league however as at mid March they still have more than half of their games to play,

In 11-a-side football, the under 12s have been the surprise package. Having won less than a handful of games at mini league level, they have already won 5 this season and sit comfortably in mid table. This is a great effort from Terry Loosley's team especially as they only have a tiny squad of players (anybody know of any players available at that age group?)

The under 14s after a promising end to last season have probably slightly underperformed however they have won 5 and drawn 2 of their 15 games played so far and also sit comfortably mid table.
Tony Wheeler's under 16s go from strength to strength. Having seemingly missed out on promotion on goal difference last season, they started the season with 2 big wins only to have them wiped out as Cambs FA decided to restructure the league after a month of the season (imagine what Alex Ferguson would say if thai happened to Manchester United?).

Hawks then found themselves in the higher league anyway but have coped admirably and despite a very weather interrupted season (at one point only playing 3 games in 12 weeks) the team are 5th in their league but with the 2nd best "points dropped" record in the league. If they win all of their remaining games, they will win it, however they still have 11 games to play and 2 of those against top side Mildenhall. The under 16s also had a wonderful Cambs County Cup run defeating 2 sides from the league above before losing narrowly to top of divn A side Willingham (who are unbeaten in several years) 1-0 in the semi final.

If you want to support the Hundon Hawks, the under 9s and 10s play Saturday mornings around the Village Hall, the under 12s and 14s play Sundays at Motts Field in Haverhill and the under 16s at Clare.
