www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/haywards-heath-town-fc FoundationConnor Saunders #onepunchcankill CONNOR’S STORY Connor Charles Edward Saunders was born on Thursday 25th March 1993 at 3.04am weighing 9lb 6oz.
Connor was a contented baby full of lots of smiles and giggles. He started to walk at 9 months and kicked a football at 11 months and never stopped.
He started pre-school making a special and unique friendship with Frankie (Cocozza) and Lee (James). Connor was a shy little boy but loved interacting with children and adults. These friendships and bonds continued throughout his life.
He went onto infants and quickly became a star pupil, often coming home with gold stars. At junior school, he became a member of the student council and we spent every parents evening with huge, beaming smiles as all the teachers heaped praise on our boy. This praise we would hear all through his schooling years but we never got tired of hearing it.
Football was one of Connor’s passions and throughout his life he played for Melford FC, Whitehawk FC Youth, Longhill, Withdene and Peacehaven Under 18s. He was a highly skilled player but was totally passionate about the game – playing or watching it.
The other passion of Connor’s was family; he truly loved birthdays and especially Christmas where the whole family would be together. He loved our unit of 5 and he truly completed our family, making it what it is today.
What made Connor was special was the many qualities he had as a human. He was kind, caring, compassionate, loyal, gentle, loving, non-judgemental, funny, generous, positive, honest, handsome and was never afraid to laugh at himself.
We looked back at his life and can honestly say that every single second he was around; he was a joy to be with.
Until 14 April 2012 when it felt all the lights were turned off in our world.
Connor was out for a night with his friends when he was hit in an unprovoked attack and with just one punch, Connor was taken from us. In that one senseless attack, our worlds and hearts were smashed into a trillion pieces.
We spend every day as a family, trying to piece our lives and hearts back together and one way we have done this is by starting the foundation in Connor’s name.
When he left our house, he had his whole life ahead of him – full of opportunities and possibilities, with his disposition seeing the best in everyone and everything. We have taken the lead from Connor in this respect, ensuring that his legacy continues to keep caring for people and keep his legacy, spirit and character alive in the way we do our work – raising awareness on the impacts of violence and promoting peace, using hands to help rather than hurt.
Connor made the world a better place just by being in it.
The work of his Foundation ensures that his light burns bright and his work continues to this day. Visit www.connors5.com for more information about the foundation and our work.

Hastings United 1, Blues 0 Hamish Morrison takes on a defender Tuesday October 22nd 2019 against Aylesbury in the FA Trophy Velocity Trophy Group Stage
Match report by Stu Morgan
Heath played Hastings Utd for the second time in 3 days but this time at the Pilot Field in the Velocity Trophy.
Heath got off to the worst possible start in this group 4 cup game when Rodari pressurised the back line of Heath and Chalmers intercepts the ball and slots in for an early lead.
Heath had to defend well on 14 minutes as Rodari got down the wing and drilled the ball low towards Pogue but it was well cut problems as on 23 minutes his first There was little action for the rest out. effort was well blocked but he got of the half although on the stroke of a second chance that whistles just half time Glover was forced into a Rodari continued to cause Heath past the post. good save after pinball on the edge of the box came to Worrall who’s strike was saved.
It was a quiet 2nd half with only a handful of chances as Heath never really got going, Byron Napper picked up a yellow card for a sliding tackle in the 56th minute.
With 74 minutes played Glover held on well to a Chalmers header and then with 8 minutes left to play ex Heath man Kenny Pogue got to the byline and drilled a ball back that was met by Rodari but again Glover was positioned well to make the save.
Hastings sealed the 3 points with the early goal and leave Heath with Nathan Cooper celebrates his goal against Aylesbury just the 1 group stage win so far.

The Ducks almost had an instant reply, when straight after kick-off, David Manu drove forward and drilled a low shot against the inside of the post with Luke Glover beaten.
Heath were still on top, however, and could have had a third when Cotton showed great skill to ghost past two Aylesbury defenders and into the box, but he could only slice his shot wide, which meant it would remain 2-0 to the Blues going into the break.
The second half was more even and less eventful, but it was still Heath who were more resourceful in possession, and they wrapped up the game late on when Warwick intercepted a pass near the Ducks’ goal and darted into the penalty area, before beating the defender and rifling home the third goal of the match for the Blues.
It was the Ducks who would score the last goal of the game after Manu was brought down in the box, and it was he who stepped up to fire his penalty down the middle with the last kick of the game.
This win sends Heath into the FA Trophy 2nd Qualifying Round, which commences on Saturday the 9th of November in place of the scheduled Phoenix Sports away match. Heath have been drawn away against Royston Town of the Southern League Premier Central Ryan Warwick turns away after scoring division.
