WE ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT MARTIN BENETAR WILL JOIN THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM OF DEAN BLACKMORE, JAMES DAY, MATT CRANE AND RICHARD HUGHES (NOT PICTURED).
MANAGER JAMES SAID 'I'M DELIGHTED THAT MARTIN HAS AGREED TO STEP UP FROM LAST SEASONS U18'S AND BECOME PART OF THE SENIOR SET UP AS A FIRST TEAM COACH. NOT ONLY HAS HE BROUGHT A GREAT DEAL OF SUCCESS TO THE CLUB WITH THE U18'S, HE ALSO BRINGS WITH HIM A WEALTH OF FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE AND A STRONG CONNECTION WITH CRAWLEY DOWN THAT WE ARE KEEN TO MAINTAIN. MARTIN WILL COMPLIMENT THE SKILLSETS WITHIN THE EXISTING MANAGEMENT TEAM AND WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING ALONGSIDE HIM.'
I AM ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED TO HAVE TAKEN ON THIS ROLE, FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF SOME INCREDIBLE CHAIRMEN.
FROM 1986 WHEN I FIRST STEPPED OUT IN THE CLUB'S COLOURS, TO 2008 WHEN I HUNG UP MY PLAYING BOOTS, TO COACHING A YOUTH TEAM, THE HAVEN HAS ALWAYS FELT LIKE A SECOND HOME.
I FEEL AN ENORMOUS SENSE OF PRIDE WHEN I SEE THE 28 TEAMS WE CURRENTLY HAVE PLAYING AND SEE KIDS WHOSE PARENTS I ONCE PLAYED ALONGSIDE.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHERE THIS JOURNEY WILL TAKE US AS A CLUB AND LOOK FORWARD TO ENGAGING WITH THE WHOLE COMMUNITY TO MAKE THIS CLUB A PLACE FOR US ALL TO BE PROUD OF.

Anvils U18's lose out to Worthing Utd in the Champions league final. Worthing went 3 up 1st half before the Anvils really got going. 2nd period Anvils pulled 2 back through Lewis Gould and Alex Tidy but could not find the equaliser.
Well done to Worthing Utd.
