PRESS RELEASE

Hemel Stags Rugby League Club and Hemel Aces Youth FC are pleased to announce a formal link up between the two clubs to further sporting opportunities for the youth of Hemel Hempstead.

The link up sees Aces, who were the first club in Hemel to achieve the prestigious FA CHARTER DEVELOPMENT CLUB status, changing their name to

Hemel Stags Aces FC and taking up a place on the Management Committee of the Pennine Way based Hemel Stags.

Last year the Stags received planning permission for a stadium at Pennine Way. Chairman of Hemel Stags Bob Brown commented that “ PennineWay is an important sporting venue in the town for both rugby league and football and we are delighted that the Hemel Stags brand now accommodates both sports”.

Chairman of Hemel Stags Aces FC Justin Stevens “welcomed the move as a terrific opportunity for our 20 youth teams to have a permanent home and to be part a progressive sporting organization such as Hemel Stags.”
