26/08/2026 - Wed 26th Aug: Anvils win at Guildford City 2-1

Peter Bentley Cup 2nd Rd

Not the best of performances from the Anvils but both teams having to cope with a very poor surface obviously affected by the lack of rain which didn't help either side to play.

Anvils went ahead after 23mins with a low shot past the oncoming keeper from Alex Tidy. GC then tightened their game and caused the Anvils to have to soak up a lot of pressure but held their lead at HT.

2nd half GC continued to force the Anvils to defend and deservedly drew level from a free kick 1-1.

From then on in it was 'even' with both sides having chances. Anvils were awarded a penalty after a foul in the box on 77mins and Will Harley duly put the ball away to go 2-1 up. A few chances late on but both teams were cancelled out by the two defences. Result 2-1 Anvils.

22/08/2026 - Sat 22nd Aug: Anvils 4 Forest Row 2

Game of two halves. Anvils 4-2 Forest Row

Forest Row came storming out of the blocks pinning the Anvils back in their own penalty area for much of the half.

No suprise then that FROW went ahead on 7mins but although they dominated the rest of the half possession wise, no further goals were added, the half finishing 0-1 FROW.

2nd period FROW continued to find chances and on 57mins increased their lead 0-2 Frow. All over!! not a chance, as first Oli Leslie found space to hit home reducing the arrears 1-2 and then 5mins later James Laws equalised close in for the Anvils 2-2 and on 75 Will Harley crashed home a header putting the Anvils 3-2 up. Oli Leslie then settled the match on 82 mins hitting low into the corner. 4-2 Anvils.

Cracking game of football from a neutral perspective and nail biting for anyone else.
