19/05/2025 - New Ladies Team Manager Appointed

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Wayne Robinson to the Anvils family. He brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge of the women's game after many years with Qakwood, Crawley wasps and recently Dorking wanderers.

It was hugely important to us to find the right person, who has the same beliefs, drive and enthusiasm as we do here at cdgfc, to push and promote the womens game as it goes from strength to strength.

Our ambition is clear, we want a strong pathway for our youth section into a competitive and progressive women's senior team that we can all be proud of.

The committee are 100% committed to supporting the team to reach the highest levels possible and we are excited to see where this journey will take us.

Wayne said, thank you Dave and the club for giving me this opportunity. It is inspiring to have a committee who are truly committed to the future of women's football.

I am excited to play my part in the recreation of a women's team here at cdgfc.

There is already a fantastic girls youth section who I will hugely benefit from a clear pathway into senior football and we hope to see as many of them as possible in the first team over the coming years.

Time to get to work on building our squad. exciting times ahead!
