Hornets
fans can look forward to a trip to the seaside after the
announcement of an interesting mix of pre-season friendlies.
We
were immensely saddened to hear of the death of long-standing
supporter Ralph Dickinson, who passed away at St Catherine's
Hospice on Tuesday. Ralph, who lived in Hawkesbourne Road, was a
popular and familiar face at the club, along with son Terry, and
was often seen lending his hand to the many jobs around the old
Queen Street ground, including cleaning, painting and DIY
repairs. Ever eager to assist his local club, Ralph later
collected the money from supporters transferring in to the stand
on matchdays and he regularly made donations to the club, most
notably a set of goal nets in the club colours. A real
character, Ralph will be deeply missed by all who knew him and
anyone wishing to pay their respects can do so at his funeral
service at Surrey & Sussex Crematorium, on Monday 28th May at
10:45am.
Simon Colbran admitted that he was both surprised and delighted
by Ray Freeman's decision to agree terms with the club for next season.
Freeman was thought to have played his last game for the Hornets
after going AWOL following the Brighton Charity Cup win at
Crowborough but is one of more than a dozen of this season's
squad to have pledged themselves to the club next season.
Ian
Varley, Adam Hutchings, Callum Dunne and Gary Charman picked up
the trophies at last night's end of season dinner.
'Superfan'
Derek Burbidge has done it again, attending every Hornets match
for the second year running with his fantastic achievement
acknowledged by the club who presented him with an award at last
night's end of season dinner.
We
are delighted to announce that fundraising via the club's unique
shopping link has broken through the four figure mark, with the
latest total a superb £1,009. This fantastic amount, that all
goes towards the player budget, has been raised by fans making
their on-line purchases through this website. For those of you
yet to sign up in support of this excellent initiative,
remember, it costs not a single penny more to bring in much
needed funds. Find out more 
Hornets
skipper Callum Dunne has dedicated Wednesday's Brighton Charity
Cup triumph to the club’s supporters who, he said, are ‘the best
around’.In his first interview with
Hornets Review, Callum also shared his thoughts on this season.

A
last-gasp goal by Kery Kedze gave Horsham some overdue cheer
tonight as they took the Brighton Charity Cup with an exciting
3-2 win over Worthing. Kedze struck in the final seconds of
extra-time to give the Hornets a deserved victory, despite the
Rebels hitting the woodwork 3 times.Charlie Farmer's headed goal
put Horsham in front but Mike Huckett levelled on the stroke of
half-time, following up to score after Michael Hunter had saved
his poor spot-kick. Jamie Brotherton made it 2-1 to Worthing
with a neat turn and shot but a near post header by Dan Morris
sent the game in to extra-time and set the stage for Kedze to
break Worthing hearts and spark unbridled scenes of celebration
by the Horsham players and supporters.
So
here we are, one final match before we wave an enthusiastic
farewell to the 2011/12 campaign and what better way of ending a
dreadful campaign than by winning a piece of silverware against
one of our oldest rivals?
Horsham
Football Club was tremendously saddened to hear of the death on
Monday 30th April of Roy Scutt, a lifelong servant of the club.

Michael
Power struck twice in the opening 10 minutes as Horsham's 6 year stay in the Ryman Premier
Division came to an end at soggy Cray Wanderers on Saturday.
Sloppy marking saw the visitors fall behind in Cray's first
attack before Power profited from a fumble by Michael
Hunter to double the lead. Dan Morris missed a great opportunity
to reduce the arrears but his was a rare chance for the Hornets
although it took until the 88th minute before Cray added to
their score when Tony Dolby netted from close range. Wayne
Clarke's opportunist strike gave the travelling fans something
to cheer at the end but an offside flag denied Tony Nwachukwu a
second as the Hornets bade a timid goodbye to the Premier
Division.
Simon
Colbran has expressed his disappointment at the scheduling of
next week’s Brighton Charity Cup Final, with several of his
players likely to miss out on the chance to end a troubled
season with a medal.
Our
6 year stay in the Ryman Premier Division comes to an end this
Saturday but Hornets fans plan to commemorate the occasion in
style.....by dressing as pirates! Our penultimate match preview
takes on it's own
Ray
Freeman’s future looks to be away from Goring’s Mead after Simon
Colbran revealed the striker has failed to make contact since
last week’s match against Crowborough.
The
U14s clinched the Sussex Sunday Youth League title with today's
4-1 win over Eastbourne Borough. The Hornets scored twice in
each half, through Finn Bigg, Hugo Cowan, Lewis Reeves and Dan
Cusdin, to maintain their unbeaten record with one match still
to play. Well done to Richard Wootton, Jason Reeves and all the
squad on a terrific achievement. 
Our
congratulations go to Callum Dunne, who was voted Player of the
Season by the club's supporters yesterday. Callum, one of only a
handful of players to have been at the club since the summer,
was presented with a trophy and a bottle of champagne by
Chairman Kevin Borrett.
