Harlow Town 4 AFC Hornchurch 1
Saturday 27th December
The Hawks ended their run of seven consecutive defeats with an emphatic win against a lacklustre Urchins. Harlow have given the Urchins plenty to think about as they became the second team this month to hit four goals past them. However, we know the Urchins have plenty of 'bouncebackability' and the fans will be hoping for bagsful as we move on to our next game this Saturday when we entertain Heybridge Swifts.

AFC Hornchurch 1 Boreham Wood 4
Tuesday 9th December
On a night to quickly forget the Urchins crashed to their worst home defeat in many years when a determined and organised Boreham Wood hit four goals past their shaky defence. Following the recent excellent performances against Sutton, Potters Bar and Ramsgate the Urchin faithful will hope this was just 'one of those nights'. However, another stiff test awaits as we travel to second placed Carshalton this Saturday.

AFC Hornchurch 2 Sutton United 1
Saturday 29th November
The Urchins battled superbly well this afternoon against a very organised and skillful Sutton side to earn three valuable League points. Second half goals from Kris Lee and Simon Parker did the trick. However the game was marred when the U's 'keeper, Paul Nicholls, had to be substituted following an injury. We hope he has now fully recovered and wish him well.

Horsham 0 AFC Hornchurch 0
Saturday 22nd November
Today's game ended in stalemate as both teams earned a point from a not so memorable draw. The only real talking points seemed to be the robust tackling from the 'home' side and the accuracy (or not) of the referee's timepiece.

AFC Hornchurch 1 Hendon 2
Tuesday 18th November
After dominating the game from start to finish the Urchins found themselves on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline. All credit must go to the visitors for digging in and making the most of their opportunities but all Urchins fans will wonder how they let the three points slip through their fingers.

AFC Hornchurch 0 Peterborough United 1
Sunday 9th November
After holding First Division Peterborough for a full 90 minutes and looking forward to the replay a 91st minute Craig Mackail-Smith goal broke our hearts but not our spirit. The team did us proud today and the Posh know they were in a game. Ironically, a win today could have seen us battling Tranmere Rovers in the next round but it is not to be. We lived the dream, enjoyed every minute of it and will be back again next year with even more resolve and determination. Well done Urchin lionhearts - you are all heroes and good luck to the Posh in the next round. Your fans behaved impecably today and are great ambassadors for your club.

Dartford 3 AFC Hornchurch 3
Tuesday 28th October
The Urchins carried on where they left off last Saturday at Weymouth and powered to a 3-0 interval lead. However, Saturday's heroic effort took its toll and in the second half the hosts came back strongly to earn a creditable draw. The Urchins may feel it was two points lost but it was a thoroughly entertaining game for the 923 spectators.

Weymouth 1 AFC Hornchurch 2
Saturday 25th October
There are no superlatives to describe today's incredible team performance! 'Total commitment' doesn't even come close. The lads played out of their skins and there didn't seem to be two league places between the teams never mind two Divisions. The travelling Urchin Army were treated to a day they will never forget and Simon's last minute winner was the stuff of legends and will surely go down in Urchin folklore. We are still 'living the dream'! See the First Round Cup Draw on ITV at 1pm on Sunday afternoon.
