The Hamlet return to south London on Saturday afternoon as they return to Isthmian League action as we take on Hastings United. 

The Hamlet will be boosted by back to back clean sheets following a 0-0 draw with Chichester City which was followed out by a determined 1-0 victory over Dartford in the FA Trophy. 

Hastings just missed out on the play-offs last season and have struggled under new manager Danny Bloor in the opening weeks of the 24/25 season. However the Sussex based side head to south London on the back of 2 victories. First they defeated Chatham Town 3-2 in the Isthmian League before they knocked Leatherhead out of the 24/25 FA Trophy. 

Before those victories they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Cray Wanderers in the Emirates FA Cup 3rd Qualifying round. The Hamlet suffered a shock 4-1 defeat to Bowers & Pitsea in the Isthmian League on the same weekend. 

A capacity crowd is expected at Champion Hill as the Hamlet look to return to winning ways in the Isthmian League ahead of a busy period of home games with the Hamlet not playing away from home until Tuesday 5th November when we take on Hendon.
