Not the best of performances against a very strong EBU side. Anvils started brightley and the game was pretty even first half. Anvils went ahead after just 12mins through new signing Ronnie Reeves slamming home a loose ball in the EBU Penalty area. 0-1 Anvils. EBU started to get on top as the half went on and they equalised on 21 mins before going ahead on 29mins 2-1 EBU. HT 2-1 EBU

2nd Half EBU had shown late in the 1st half with both wings causing problems for the Anvils defence with their low square crosses being latched onto by the oncoming forwards. All of the three 2nd half goals scored on 50, 65 & 82mins came that way. EBU didn't have it all their way but scoring chances at the other end were few and far between.

Anvils upset the odds with a win against Table toppers Haywards Heath Town 2-1

Overall the game was evenly matched with both sides playing some good football.

Anvils went ahead on 16 mins with Matt Rapson heading in unopposed from a cross by Liam Holden. They held the lead until the 26th min with Haywards Heath equalising 1-1 The Anvils then scored again with another header through Njagga Jammahl John heading in another Liam Holden cross 2-1 Anvils

HT: 2-1

2nd Half both teams competed equally throughout. Haywards Heath having more possession but the Anvils looking more dangerous going forward.

No further goals were recorded despite some excellent play and chances for both sides.

Very even game throughout with both sides playing some excellent football. The Anvils opened the scoring on 17mins through Alex Tidy slotting home from close in. Frow equalised on 34 mins 1-1 and both teams cancelled each other out for the rest of the half.

2nd Half was equally close some good football played but no real chances at either end. The Anvils lost their Keeper after 68mins with a shoulder injury which took sometime to strap up and find the hiding Oli Leslie to replace him in goal. Play restarted after 15mins. Anvils brought on Harvey Hodge to replace Oli up front and U18 player George Farrar came on to add some pressure up front. No further goals were added and a fair result 1-1. 

425 Supporters bolstered by many Ground Hoppers were treated to a cracking football match in the first of the matches associated with Ground Hopper weekend. Supporters were also able to indulge in the hospitality that both the Haven Centre and the Football Club provided throughout the evening.

Little Common started strongly with The Anvils twice caught with breakaways after having passes intercepted, scoring in the 3rd and 26th minute. Indeed Little Common were denied a 3rd after being put through and hitting wide when it seemed easier to score. 0-2 LC

Something clicked in the Anvils camp at this point and twice Callum Kilkenny scored from a cracking free kick on 42 mins and again 4mins later slotting home. 2-2 at HT and all to play for.

2nd half Anvils turned the tide and mosley dominated throughout, Alex Tidy scoring on 50 mins and Zack Tarrant on 81 mins. Final Score 4-2.

Long into the Evening the Haven Bar was packed with supporters reminiscing  on the game and enjoying the refreshments provided.

Bragging rights turn back to the Wasps after their win on Tuesday evening.

Both teams worked hard in this derby match with the Wasps cancelling out their defeat at the hands of the Anvils earlier on in the season.

Wasps took an early lead on 18mins and went 2up just before 1/2 time. 2nd half was a closer affair but Wasps cemented their lead with a 3rd goal on 63mins. Anvils came more into the game late on but could not reduce the arrears.

Hassocks went ahead after just 7mins to lead 1-0 and held that lead at the interval. 2nd Half: On 48mins The Anvils got back in to draw level through Rhys White 1-1. But just 2 mins later Hassocks took back the lead 1-2. Fairly even 2nd half for both sides with several chances going begging. Anvils went down to 10 men on  75mins after Josh Alder was sent off for retaliating to a foul and Hassocks settled it with a further goal on 81 mins.
