HASTINGS UNITED 1, BILLERICAY TOWN 1HUGH SULLIVAN Hastings United matched play-off rivals Billericay Town in an absorbing contest at Pilot Field last Saturday – their first competitive action since 13 February following weeks watching the rain fall on saturated pitches. After conceding a penalty in the first minute of the second half, they eventually rallied to equalise through substitute Will Harley, and finished the game on the front foot, pressing for a winner.

HUGH SULLIVANFielding an almost entirely new line-up of players, Hastings United have started the new Isthmian League season in a mood that suggests they can build the trust of local supporters quickly. A crowd of nearly 1,000 came to Pilot Field on the opening day, 12 August, to see them entertain visitors Cheshunt, relegated in April from the National League, and match them in an even contest that ended 1-1.

Hastings United kick off the new season at the Pilot Field tomorrow (Saturday) under new manager Paul Barnes, having assembled a virtually new squad of players. But both the team and its supporters will have been buoyed by the return of two not-so-old favourites who have re-signed for the club following a couple of seasons playing at higher levels.

Clear majority of full council rejects football stadium moveThe projected move of Hastings United football club from Pilot Field to Tilekiln playing fields in Hollington is dead. It was given last rites at a meeting of the full Hastings Borough Council (HBC) last Wednesday. The council owns the freehold of both sites, and a report prepared by its Chief Executive Jane Hartnell, which was presented to cabinet on 5 June, had declared the move as “unviable”.
