BUDGET BOOSTER FUND The level we play at is now beyond the realms of true amateur sport, and whilst we are fortunate to have a band of loyal players, we still need to be financially attractive to them, if for no other reason than to fend off the advances of some of our more well-funded counterparts!
There's also the substantial work we've had to undertake to ensure the Memorial Ground achieved the necessary FA ground grading - a massive financial outlay which inevitably stretched the purse strings to the limit.
This is where you, the loyal Row Supporter, can play your part! Our playing budget is one of, if not the lowest in the league and that's why we will very shortly be launching the BUDGET BOOSTER FUND.
Apart from a small card processing fee we can't avoid, every penny will go di- rectly to the playing budget. We will be running an online fundraising app our- selves, so there'll be no % being skimmed off, and the app will accept PayPal & Credit Cards. Alternatively, you’ll have the option of pledging a cash amount which you can then give at the clubhouse.
Please look out for the launch on our website and donate whatever you can. Luke Mullen, Club Chairman Anthony Millerick, First Team Manager

ALL OUR YESTERDAYS : 2015/16
16th Jan 2016 v Bradford Town, FA Vase 4th Round Proper
HARTLEY INTO THE 5TH ROUND & LAST 16 OF THE F.A. VASE
Hartley increased their record breaking campaign in the FA Vase by beating Bradford Town 3-1 in the 4th Round.
Without formidable centre halves Shane Hollamby and Liam Eagle, Hart- ley demonstrated the depth of quality within the squad when we replaced them with the returning Steve Noakes and Julian Sills.
We didn’t start well. Loose balls and failed clearances meant Bradford put us under sustained pressure. It was a failed clearance that led to the opening goal, striker Sam Jordan making us pay for an error at the back as he slotted the ball past Craig Atkinson. Steve Duff allowed him to break Despite getting the opening goal, it through the Bradford line.
