We held our first training and trails session this Saturday. Read more for a message from our chairman.

Well that was one of the most humbling experiences of my life.

6 weeks ago our club was just an idea.

On Saturday we had trials for 4 teams across 3 age groups nearly 60 boys in attendance.

We have 5 sponsors in place (more sponsorship opps available, please shout if you want more info ?), we are affiliated with the FA, we have been accepted into 2 leagues (one more still to come as AGM is not until July).

We have some fantastic, friendly and talented coaches in place and a committee that consists of a Treasurer, a Welfare Officer, 3 secretaries, a Community Engagement Lead, a Vice Chairman and a Chairman; two of whom hand cut the pitch at Court Lodge with 2 garden lawnmowers to ensure the grass was ready (shout out to Anthony Jupp and Stuart Inwood).

It was amazing to meet members of the Horley United club that formed in the 80s and to receive a very kind donation of their Player of the Year trophy.

The support was unreal and it made the chaos of the last 6 weeks more than worth it. Just goes to show what you can achieve with a group of great and committed people.

We are still looking for coaches for our u10s team so if you’re interested please let me know. We, or the league, will fund your training if you need it.

Here’s to the future of Horley United FC and our mission to unite the community of Horley through football.

Dave Towse
Chairman
