Crawley Down Gatwick Football Club

18/11/2025 - Horsham FC 7 CDG 1 SSC R3 K/O 7:45pm

National South side Horsham as expected dominated throughout and the Anvils had to work very hard to match the the quality of their team.

After some initial equality between the two teams the Anvils went 2 goals down in the 7th & 10th minutes but held Horsham until the 30th Min when they made it 3-0 HT Horsham 3 Anvils 0.

2nd half the Anvils seemed to have more of the play and created several chances which were not converted wheras at the other end Horsham were much more clinicle in front of goal. However a good spell from the Anvils during the mid part of the half ended with two golden chances one of wich was converted by James Laws who carmly slotted past Carey in the Horsham goal. Just after another chance with the Horsham keeper stranded a chip from George Falzon just cleared the cross bar. However Horsham at the other end capitised on any mistakes made and some clever build up play scored 7 by the Final whistle.

Impressed by the quality of Horshams play and their league position, 5th place in the National League South shows the quality of this team.

Impressed also by the Welcome and refreshments from the Horsham Commitee throughout.

Good luck to Horsham who have every chance to reclaim the Sussex county Cup for a 2nd year.

Poor performance from the Anvils today weather didn't help but Little Common played the Conditions better.

2nd half both teams cancelled each other out for most of the half but LC always looked the most dangerous and went further ahead on 67 Mins. Lots of substitutions from the Anvils which really had no effect and LC deservedly took the points.
