Hethersett Athletic

Hethersett Athletic Football Club is bidding for a unique league double with its men's first team and ladies team both in the hunt for league honours.

The ladies team is playing in the fourth tier nationally and at present sits proudly on top of the Eastern Region Premier Division. By the time Good News is published they will have played vital matches against the sides in second and third places. The club has gained sponsorship from Bennetts electricals and Fosters Solicitors.

The men's first team were at the time of writing in second place in the Norwich Sunday league Premier Division, just one point behind last season's champions Marlborough.

The club continues to run 15 teams for all ages in competitive league football and we have recently added an Under-7s side which is playing friendlies ready to step up to competitive football.

As the club continues to expand an increasing number of venues continue to be used with at least two games and often three on the Memorial Field virtually every Sunday. With teams also using the field to train on Saturdays there is very much a village amenity feel about weekends. If you havene't seen one of our games I would urge you to pop along on a Sunday to see how much soccer the club is providing for all ages and both sexes.
