After 2 postponements at Tunbridge Wells the FA reversed the fixture to the Haven.

Before the match started a minutes applause was held for Richard Golby an U16 Coach who suddenly passed away whilst at work and will be greatly missed by all.

Anvils started brightly and took the lead on 4 mins through Josh Alder with a delicate chip over the TW Keeper. On 24 mins TW drew level 1-1. HT 1-1.

2nd half was pretty evenly matched with both sides creating chances but it was TW who took the lead on 77 mins and looked like holding on until Lewes Gould levelled for the Anvils on 83 Mins. Both sides pressed for a winner but no further goals and so to Pens.

The Penalty shoot out was just as competitive with both keepers making saves but in the end it was the Anvils who went through to the 4th Rd of the FA Vase after it was left to Josh Brown to step up to score the Winning penalty.

Overall a cracking game throughout, a spectacle for the crowd who enjoyed the celebrations afterwards.

MOM: Josh Alder
