Match Preview

Here we go again at our 2nd attempt on Saturday 12th October to finish this SCFA RUR Cup match against Crawley Down Gatwick.

When the two sides met recently on the 17th September with the score at 2-2 the floodlights failed in extra-time and the match was abandoned. It later transpired that the lights were on a timer which switched off at 10.00pm, being new to the facilities that was something club officials were unaware of but since then the lights have been switched to manual intervention needed, so that should put an end to those problems in future.

Also since that evening the visitors have been in two further abandoned matches which must be some kind of unwanted record for the Anvils, after our game their Senior Cup match was abandoned after 2 minutes following a torrential downpour that flooded the pitch and on Saturday an injured match official couldn't be replaced and that match came to an early conclusion too, let's hope we're OK on Saturday.

Kick Off is at 3.00pm
