Mystic Nurse
RYMAN PREMIER DIVISION Att: 603 SUTTON UNITED – 5 [J.Nurse 38.49.53. Hanlan 56. Boosey 75] HEYBRIDGE SWIFTS – 1 [Griffiths 66] Now, Heybridge ain’t our favourite bunch. We’ve had some some frustrating encounters over the last few years and their mainly agricultural approach to the beautiful game has won them few admirers […]

RYMAN PREMIER DIVISION Att: 259 HEYBRIDGE SWIFTS – 2 [Robinson 18. Cousins 82] SUTTON UNITED – 2 [Bailey 45p. Nurse 68] Yep, it’s that time of year again. Away to Heybridge. Not exactly the first fixture we look for every summer when the list comes out. But, with our recent upturn in […]
A Swift Double
RYMAN PREMIER DIVISION Att: 514 SUTTON UNITED – 2 [Bolt p38. Fowler 88] HEYBRIDGE SWIFTS – 0 What with last weeks clash with Purfleet falling victim to the weather, and no midweek game, the last 7 days have been a little dull with no football. So, what better way to get back into the […]
Third Time Unlucky?
FA CUP 2nd QUALIFYING ROUND REPLAY Att: 385 SUTTON UNITED – 1 [Fowler 29] HEYBRIDGE SWIFTS – 2 [Rainford 40. Abrahams 78] Having watched the U’s for some time now, I naturally would find it hard to walk away and stop watching ‘em. But recently, it’s becoming harder and harder to bear attending matches. No, […]
A Swift Return
FA CUP 2nd QUALIFYING ROUND Att: 310 HEYBRIDGE SWIFTS – 1 [Hunter 73] SUTTON UNITED – 1 [Watson 24] Match Reporter: Bob What could be worse than playing Heybridge away midweek?

A Swift Response
RYMAN PREMIER DIVISION Att: 208 HEYBRIDGE SWIFTS – 1 [Culverhouse 44] SUTTON UNITED – 3 [Bolt 45. Fowler 65. Bailey 89] The U’s headed out to the wilds of Essex last night for the first instalment of this double header against those purveyors of quality football and sportsmanship, Heybridge Swifts. And won. Again. […]

Windows 33] SUTTON UNITED – 0 Now the last thing you want when you’re living out the final stages of mid-table mediocrity in a largely disappointing season and haven’t scored for 4.5 games is a trip to deepest Essex and Heybridge bloody Swifts. In […]
The Traffic Bollard
RYMAN PREMIER DIVISION Att: 494 SUTTON UNITED – 4 [Arkwright 42. Boothe p55. OG 79. Murray 89] HEYBRIDGE SWIFTS – 1 [Parker 49] Oh yes, Colin Wall. What a player. What a muppet… Come on, are Sutton fans the only supporters in the Ryman to have spotted Mr Wall’s ‘talent’?? If you have, you’ll know […]
Never Trust An Essex Cabbie
RYMAN PREMIER DIVISION Att: 310 HEYBRIDGE SWIFTS – 2 [Lee 25. Warwick 84] SUTTON UNITED – 2 [Bolt 40. Haworth 89] Bloody hell. What a day. Many more like this and I’m going to have to check into the ‘Priory’ (No, not Zoe Ball’s C4 proggie) for stress treatment, like what that nice Mr Collymore […]
