An array of former Hartlepool United stars are set to reunite for the first time in years when they take to the crease for a charity cricket match on Sunday 6th July.
Former Pools defenders Micky Barron and Graeme Lee will skipper two sides during an unmissable event at Peterlee Cricket Club.
Staff and service users from the Salaam Centre in Hartlepool recently joined us at the match. Have a read about their experience!
HUST’s Community Ticket Fund and Hartlepool United Community Sports Foundation are welcoming some people who use the Salaam Community Centre to tomorrow’s match against Sutton. The centre, who were inadvertently caught up in the terrible scenes which made the national news, runs a range of support groups and services. In keeping with its name, Salaam means welcome.

We are delighted that the match against Darlington Supporters Group, followed by a fantastic night thanks to Switch of Play, raised £900 to be shared between two dementia charities. Thanks to everyone that took part in the game, including Tommy Miller and Graeme Lee, and to everyone that supported the event.
When HUST decided to work with dementia charities on our latest community initiative we soon realised that there was a type of dementia that we couldn’t ignore: footballers are far more likely than the general public to suffer from a brain disease known as CTE (Chronic Traumatic Entrophy). Read more about this and a campaign set up to highlight the issue.
HUST were delighted to once again welcome local LGBT+ charity Hart Gables to the Suit Direct Stadium for the game against Swindon. Read more here!
