Founded as HEATH HAYES UNITED Later HEATH HAYES CONS. HEATH HAYES F.C.
HISTORY:
In 1965 they broke away from Heath Hayes CO-OP Youth Club and formed their own team which they called Heath Hayes United. The first season was spent in the Cannock Youth League and they ran the team from the Five Ways Inn, which is why they were not very popular with the Area Youth Organiser. After that Hayes joined the Cannock Chase League Division Two, rapidly gaining promotion to Division One and then into the Premier League as well as having a brief flirtation with Sunday football. They also changed their headquarters to the Constitutional Club, so the team took the name Heath Hayes Cons F.C. In the early 1970`s the club spent a couple of seasons in the Mid Staffs League, before joining the Staffs County League (South), where they spent 15 very mixed and eventful seasons. 1989 saw the Club move back to the Five Ways and change its name to Heath Hayes F.C. and took the bold decision to join the Staffordshire Senior League, now the Springbank Vending Midland League. The next change of league came in 1996/97 when they joined the West Midlands Regional League – Boundary changes in 2006 saw them joining the Midland Football Combination Premier Division.

Would moving kids' football to a summer game help improve the development of young footballers?
Yes - better pitches mean a better chance to develop technique/skills
No - wouldn't make any real difference to development
Maybe - but I'd be worried about more injuries on firm pitches
