"Good weekend?"
"Yeah, not bad. Lost a top of the table clash 4-3 because our midfield kicked the ball into the face of our 'keeper to score an own goal"
Over 15,000 people dead in the UK alone from coronavirus already, thousands more taken by the virus everyday and all some people are worried/care about is that they won't win the Sussex Sunday League Division 3 Title
It's Sunday League football, nobody cares 🤷♀️
Don't worry San Marino - we lost our first game of the season 9-0 and are still top of the Sussex Sunday League Premier Division with a minus 1 goal difference
This is what Sunday league is all about. The two teams who clashed in the finals spent the evening drinking together and celebrating. Unicorn FC are a credit to the league.
We paid our own unique tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II this morning by conceding one goal for each of the decades she spent on the throne
Full time score from Waterhall: Brighton Aces 7-0 Hassocks Fatboys

He’s chosen to take some time away from sport & while we will miss him, knowing when to think of yourself is key

A special mention to two stalwarts of the club on two big achievements.
Davie passes 150 club apps
Stuart passed 150 club goals.
Both pass 150 boring comments per Sunday.

We're planning on running two teams in the Sussex Sunday League so if you fancy joining a club that hasn't won a trophy since 2015, get in contact

I mean, to keep positive - bring on Div 1. For a team who never should have been put in after finishing 4th in Div 1 2 years ago we have given it our bloody best & I for one am proud of every single one of my boys 💚

RIP Fred
When he played Fatboys, he'd shove rolled up copies of the Leader down his socks rather than shin pads. Even when he was offered some, he'd say "I've played for 40 years without shin pads, I'm not starting now"
A great bloke to have a beer & talk football with ♥️
We are saddened to learn of the passing of Fred Weatherill who held every role in a long association with us, including winning the Intermediate Cup in 1975 & most recently as assistant to Dave John
Our thoughts are with Fred's friends and family ❤
We’ve got the best seats in the house tonight sitting next to this top photographer ✌️

Hassocks Fatboys would like to announce that we won't be retiring the reserves number 7 shirt in honour of Simon O'Brien but instead will be pushing for him to retire himself.

With the news that the KO has been delayed to 3.30 we’re sat here twiddling our thumbs… however the good luck messages have started to come in from those who can’t make it.
First up, the man, the myth, the legend…

11-4 Fatboys. Having gone into half time 9-1 behind, we did at least sober up enough to win the second half 3-2. To quote the great Luke Vick: "What the fuck am I doing with my life"
We thought we would kick our Q&A off with an absolute bang 💥
