26/08/2024 - Hassocks 4 CDG 1

Bad day at the office for the Anvils in this local Bank Holiday defeat by a good Hassocks side.

3 goals down almost before the game had started, set the pace for thie match. Scoring on 5,8 and 11 mins put the game to bed early on. Having said that the rest of the match 80 mins worth would have produced a 1-1 draw. The first half was a battle with Hassocks dominating most of the play with the Anvils defence having to work overtime to thwart the Robins eager forwards. 2nd half though the game was far more even and chance came and went for both sides. Callum Kilkenney scored the Anvils goal.

24/08/2024 - Ash Utd 2 CDG 3 FA Vase Qual 1

A frustrating game from a spectators point of view with the Anvils going behind twice 1-0 and 2-1 and against the run of play. Ash Utd went ahead in the 13th minute with their first venture into the Anvils penalty area with CDG getting back in it with a superb lob from Adam Lonsdale. 1-1 but two mins later Ash Utd went ahead again from a cross which keeper Cash failed to hold and it sailed into the back of the Anvil net. HT: 2-1 Ash Utd.

A few changes to the Anvils 2nd half upped their tempo and it wasn't long before Lewis Gould netted to bring the game level 2-2. Another few changes from the Anvils bench brought on Ricardo Silva and Michael Spence. Ricardo had an immediate effect with a superb cross finding Rhys White who made no mistake putting the Anvils ahead 3-2. Both sides made further changes from the bench and worked hard until the final whistle.

Good luck to Ash Utd for the rest of the season and thanks for the hospitality provided.
