Disapointing game at Midhurst meaning The Anvils finish in 6th position and just outside the Playoffs for promotion.
Overall the season was a good one and finishing 6th was above our expectations at the Season start. So well done to all the players and Management Team for their exceptional efforts this season.
The game itself started well for The Anvils as we dominated throughout the first half and with so many chances missed we could easily have been 4 up at the break instead of going in 0-0 at HT.
Midhurst packed their defence in the 2nd half and we could not find a way through and Midhurst caught us twice on the break to win what was really a one sided match. It happens in football, domination does not win games putting the ball in the back of the net does.
Onwards and upwards and look forward to another entertaining season 2025/26.
A hard fought match between the Anvils & Roffey. Anvils overall looked the most likely to score although both sides had numerous chances.
HT: 0-0
2nd half a solitary goal from Oli Leslie on 72 mins settled the bank holiday game. The Anvils remaining in 5th place with one match to go.
Bank Holiday Monday Fixture
Today is extra special, as we support our local hospice St Catherine's. All entry fees will be donated and as a club we will round up the figure. Our hospice is a huge part of our community and our support is needed now more than ever. Most people in our local community will know of someone who has needed the services of St Catherine's, and how important they are at one of the most difficult times in life. Their care is only possible thanks to the generosity of local people like you, so lets get together and raise as much as we can.
