GORDON INJURY RUINS TAYLOR'S PLANS Hawkhurst's 19 year-old Welsh striker, Kyle Gordon, has ruined Chairman Matt Taylor's plans to take a backseat when he picked up an injury in training earlier today that will see him out of action for the rest of the season! With Mark Hanson injured and Micky Johnson out on loan to Stockport County, Manager Chuck Masterson recalled Taylor in a desperate attempt to catch up with Gillingham and secure a play-off place. However, Taylor is likely to be in action for a long time as Johnson's loan contract was extended until the end of the season and Hanson's career still lies in jeopardy. Speaking exclusively to Hawkhurst Park, Taylor said, "it is my duty to the club to continue playing. The manager had the choice to play one man up front, or draft in a midfielder, but he decided this would be the best option considering the situation we are in and Nottingham Forest's predicted enthusiasm." At fifth place and with only two points separating them from dropping out of the play-off zone, Hawkhurst desperately need points, and if another striker gets injured, they could be halted completely!
HAWKEV SPONSORED PRE-SEASON TOURNAMENT Hawkhurst Chairman, Matt Taylor, has officially announced that he, and the Chairmen of 7 other clubs, have agreed to participate in a pre-season tournament sponsored by Hawkev. Brighton & Hove Albion, Chatham Town, Crystal Palace, Gillingham, Hartlepool United Hawkhurst, Millwall and Norwich City have been in talks for some time, along with Hawkev, and a final agreement was made last night, including the fixtures. Each club will play the others once, and the full fixtures are on site now.
LEAKY DEFENCE PLUGGED Hawkhurst's manager, Chuck Masterson, exclusively revealed to us today that he has signed two 15 year-old defenders until the end of the season. The move, which only came at a personal cost to the Chairman Matt Taylor, has ended Masterson's defensive headaches and they can now focus more on promotion rather than relegation.
RAVENS IS TAKING THE PINCE Hawkhurst FC have run out of options for defenders as their final substitute was arrested last night in conjunction with sexual harassment charges. Steven Ravens has now confirmed manager Chuck Masterson's problems after he was caught "making acquaintance" with a crab in the rock pool at Hastings's Sea Life Centre. Chuck Masterson claimed that his 15 year-old defender was "taking the pince" with his illegal adorations and fantasies for Crustaceans and this final act has caused a public outcry that Ravens should go for the snip to protect crabs and other sea animals. Ravens' lawyer claimed Ravens was nowhere near the Centre at the time, but 123 stunned visitors saw him and he is now facing sexual harassment charges and will not be given bail. Instead he will stand trial in one month while Masterson tries to fix his defensive nightmare. |
