Hurst FC is a youth Football Club with more than 120 playing members.
During the latter part of 2007 we obtained a
planning consent
to enable the Club and its community to train and play Football
in the heart of the Village in
Hinton Road.
Together with a Clubhouse
we will be able to provide the platform
for our fledgling club to grow in line with its phenomenal popularity
locally.
We have formed a fundraising Committee
who begin the enormous task of finding the funds
to make the plans a reality.
We are looking for local people and local companies
to support the project with pledges, donations, sponsorships
or even help developing the site.
We need £40,000 to complete Phase One
which would support the next two years' development
and enable the field to be used for training
with a safe access and "off-road" parking area for all.

On Saturday 19th July 2008 a huge number of volunteers
turned up at the training ground, armed with buckets and wheelbarrows.
The field was covered with a huge number of stones
that had to be removed by hand before the new grass could be cut.
After a couple of hours and a lot of hard work, the vast majority
of large stones had been cleared.
The field has now had its second cut and looks great.
As promised at the 2007 AGM, we submitted a planning application
for the new football pitch and clubhouse at Stow Bridge Field in
Hinton Road. This application has been given approval by
Wokingham Borough Council.

The details should appear in a new window.
