Dale Wins 'Safe Hands' Award for April
Dale Brightly has won April's RPL Safe Hands Award. Dale's excellent work, and that of the whole defence, saw the Urchins concede only three goals in their last nine RPL games - whilst scoring twenty! In six of these nine games Dale kept a clean sheet. Well done Dale on this most deserved Award.

AFC Wimbledon 3 AFC Hornchurch 1
The Urchins tremendous season ended in glorious defeat at Kingsmeadow in their Ryman Premier Play-Off Semi-Final. The lads gave their all but on the night it was just not quite enough to secure victory over a powerful Wombles side. For the Urchins, who have come so far in such a short time, it was just 'a bridge too far'. The obvious disappointment on the faces of the players was clear to see but they can hold their heads high as they did us proud. Well done to every one of them!

Folkestone Invicta 0 AFC Hornchurch 0
The Urchins extended their unbeaten run to eight games this evening with a goal-less draw at Folkestone. The hosts were desperate for the points as they scrambled to avoid the trap door to Ryman One but with the pitch waterlogged in places any chance of free-flowing football was impossible. The game was reduced to a handful of chances for both sides and Folkestone must wait until Saturday for their fate to be decided whilst the Urchins entertain AFC Wimbledon in our last League home game of the season. It should be a 'cracker'!

Tonbridge Angels 1 AFC Hornchurch 1
The Urchins were awesome in defence today in the face of a desperate full-blooded Angels second half onslaught as they battled for the win which would keep them in contention. However, it was the Urchins who secured the single point which guaranteed them a play-off place. Next Saturday's game versus AFC Wimbledon is massive - and may serve as a dress rehearsal for the play-off semi three days later.

This trophy follows hard on the heels of last week's Presidents Cup victory. The CL boys have been absolutely awesome this season. They started the season as 2006/07 Champions and so have emphatically retained their title.

In a game where both teams were battling hard for the points, but for very different reasons, the Urchins came out on top courtesy of another spectacular goal from Simon Parker.

AFC Hornchurch 3 Carshalton Athletic 2
The 'never say die' Urchins turned in a performance which left the home crowd breathless as they hit three goals in the last five minutes to earn a sensational victory against The Robins. Goal heroes Kris Lee (2) and Simon Parker turned the game completely on its head after it looked as though AFCH would earn nothing from the game. Although The Urchins created more scoring chances it was The Robins who hit two excellent goals and looked like stealing the points. However, when Kris Lee pulled one back five minutes from 'time' nobody in the stadium could have predicted what was to follow.

Chelmsford City 0 AFC Hornchurch 4
The lionheart Urchins put in a sublime performance this afternoon to completely outplay League Leaders Chelmsford and score their most impressive victory of the season so far.
