25 August 2018. Hungerford Town 1, Dartford 0. Amazing, considering Hungerford Town conceded SIX goals to Chelmsford City and FOUR against Concord Rangers. What were we thinking? Still, on the plus side, we lost 2:0 last season.

The Road to Hungerford was littered with car accidents down the M4. The ground has had a bit of a face lift - new floodlights, lots of fresh concrete, some new turnstiles yet to be pressed into use. Takeaway tea still costs a remarkable £1.50 - but we ARE in BARKshire, DAHling.

Say the name Hungerford and most people will associate the town with the events of Wednesday, 19 August, 1987. That summer afternoon Michael Ryan, a 27-year-old unemployed labourer, killed 16 people, injured 15 more and then turned the gun on himself to end a six-hour shooting spree. He changed the lives of residents in the west Berkshire town forever and society's attitudes towards possessing firearms.
