Pre season training started last night with the Crusaders new signings being put through their paces and introduced to the core squad. Only 2 players have exited this season (Nat Jarvis & Harry Goodger) but 5 new signings and the return of James Rusby from injury have bolstered the strength of the Crusaders for the forthcoming 2017/18 season.

The Crusaders are utilising the adjacent facilities of Hungerford Primary school, a shared facility with the Hungerford Juniors to conduct high tempo training routines.

HTFC wish to thank Lisa Eldridge of West Berkshire Council for partnering HTFC and enabling all levels of football to use their amazing pitches in return for grass and hedge cutting services.

Already there is a buzz around Bulpit Lane and some very determined and fit players have returned from annual leave looking to push on for a play off place this season.

Everybody is invited on a Tuesday training night, as the club will be open, to meet management team and the players after their training sessions.
