About the project

We are an FA Chatered football club who have been running for over 10 years. We have been funded by Hitchin Town FC and Herts County Council. Due to cut backs in all different sectors we run solely on volunteers to coach our football team. 

We have been a football kit and a facility to train all donated to us by Hitchin Town FC. The football kit is an old kit which was once Hitchin Town's first team kit. We are using old equipment that is being funded through our volunteers or have been donated over the years.

We are a successful football team competing in over 5 leagues in a season along with many different tournaments during the year. We train every Monday in the afternoon with an average of 30 plus players coming from all areas of Hertfordshire.
