Walk like an Urchin!

AFC Hornchurch fans may have been left despondent when Tonbridge Angels scored a late winner at Longmead on Saturday- but there was one consolation. At least they didn't have to walk back!

Setting off the previous day, a large group of supporters and officials walked the almost thirty-four miles from Bridge Avenue to Kent in aid of the Urchins Academy. They raised more than two thousand seven hundred pounds- cash which will go towards the building of a classroom. So far supporters have raised almost ten thousand pounds for the project.
