07/12/2025 - Sun 7th Dec Anvils win 2-1 away to Faversham Strike Force FA Vase Rd 3

Anvils through 4th Rd of the FA Vase after a win at Faversham Strike Force.

Both teams played well but the Anvils always looked more dangerous throughout.

CDG went ahead on after 37 mins with a great strike from Rhys White

HT: 0-1 Anvils

2nd half the Anvils pressurised well and the a few chances went begging which should have been converted. Faversham then on a break scored after 64mins 1-1. CDG continued to press and were rewarded after a foul on the edge of the Faversham penalty area gave the Anvils a free kick which Liam Holden calmly chipped Oliver the defencsive wall into the top corner.

FT 2-1 Anvils.

Both teams had further chances but the Anvils held out for a place in the 4th Round for the 2nd year running.

Rhys White and Oli Leslie were MOM.

Thanks to Faversham Strike Force for the excellent welcome and good luck for the rest of the season.

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.
