rane our first game until we have tried and tested all aspects of facility from playing on the pitches to pouring a pint in the bar and ensuring there is hot water in the showers. This in itself will take time but get ready to move home games from Lancing by around mid season. I can't wait !!

To those of you making your first visit to our new ground, especially those who have made the short trip across the Sussex/Surrey border in support of the Moatsiders, we hope you enjoy your brief stay with us and make full use of the facilities on offer. If there is anything we can help you with, don't hesitate to ask a club official. Having taken over the leadership of the division with victory over Hornchurch here a fortnight ago, cemented by the thrilling 2-2 midweek draw with Carshalton Athletic, we were then deposed by former leaders Folkestone Invicta at the weekend when we went down to a surprise 2-0 loss at Bishop's Stortford. Defeats are part and parcel of the game of course but, having lost just once in the league so far, few would have predicted our defeat to a side that had previously lost five on the spin. It's true that luck was against us, with Charlie and Kieron both hitting the woodwork, but it's also fair to say that we weren't at our best on a wet and miserable afternoon in Hertfordshire and we will be looking to bounce back to winning ways against a Merstham side who enjoyed their best-ever campaign last season, finishing in fifth place only to be defeated by Tonbridge Angels in the play-off final.
