We're very sad to announce that Ken Bartram, one of the founders of Hurstpierpoint Colts died last Friday. As well as being pivotal in bringing youth football to thousands of local children he is also the reason that the village still has a thriving mens team.

Everyone at Hurst Colts sends their love to Ken's family and friends at this time. On the weekend of 5th and 6th October all teams will have a minute silence in honour of Ken.
