The Villain 23/24 - Episode #6

Culver Road, Lancing BN15 9AX Division 1 14/10/2023 15:00KO Montpelier Villa AFC Men's vs Roffey FC

Manager's Notes Since day 1 I have had total confidence in this squad of players. We have had some bumps in the road but that was always going to be the case as we ask the players to play the game the ‘Villa Way’.

The team have been super focused this week and training was high bar, if we take the principles we have worked on this week into the game I know we will make this a tough game.

Recent weeks we have shown a different kind of strength and unity throughout this team which has helped us through a tricky period early on in the season.

These are the games you don’t need motivating for and if you do then you should of stayed at home.

When we last played Roffey at their ground we started really well but that togetherness in the squad was tested as we was put to the sword.

The benefit we have now is we know what a good side they are and that we have to be at our best to get something from this game.

The FA Cup 3rd Round Qualifying, Culver Road, Lancing 22/10/2023 14:00KO

Head Coach Notes By the time Halloween comes around we will have played two league matches in October and four cup matches in three different cup competitions.

We have some incredible memories of cup matches over the years from coming from behind in every game to lift the SCWGFL Cup to last season’s dramatic penalty shootout win against Saltdean and not only being the only team to score against Brighton but being the only team to take the lead against them last season.

Tomorrow we play Newhaven in the Sussex Senior Cup quarter-final and they have made a phenomenal start to the season and it’s always great to see local sides do well not just because we know a lot of the people involved with them but because it gives us something to aspire to and ultimately challenge.

Next week, we welcome Denham United to the Withdean Stadium in the third qualifying round of the FA Cup. One round away from the first round proper. Both Denham and ourselves will be quite pleased with the draw as we play at the same level of the pyramid but we’re really hoping to make home advantage count and expecting to see every Villan in attendance at the historic ground as we aim to be the second team from Brighton to make it from Withdean to Wembley.

OUR VISITORS - ROFFEY FC

Roffey Football Club was founded in 1901. The club’s first success came in the 1920s, twice winning the Horsham Junior Charity Cup. More success followed in the 1930s, twice crowned as Horsham league Division 1 Champions, and twice winners of the Horsham Senior Charity Cup. In the 1954/55 season, the 1st Team were crowned Division 1 Champions with a 100% record, gaining the title the following season. In 1969 the club joined the Crawley & District League, winning the Premier Division in 1982 In the 1980s they were twice finalists in the Mick Hastain Cup before winning the Division 1 title in 1987. More success came in the early 1990s, lifting the Les Searle Floodlit Cup and runners up in the Malcolm Simmonds Cup. 1993 saw the 1st Team finish runners up in Division 1. The following season the 1st Team finished runners up in the Premier and won the Malcolm Simmons Cup and in 1994/95 the 1st Team won the Newton International Floodlit Cup. Roffey FC joined the Mid Sussex Football League in 2005. In 2008 the 1st team won Division three, the Sussex County Junior Cup and were finalists in the Mowatt Cup. Two more top finishers and a runners-up spot in the Premier Division saw them accepted by the Sussex County Football League in 2011, which, at the time, was a major landmark in the club’s history and the first time at intermediate level.

2012/13 saw the Club get back to winning ways with a mid-table finish in County 2 and success for the reserves and 3rd teams in the Mid Sussex leagues. It also saw the introduction of an U18 squad for the first time, who narrowly missed out on the Arun and Chichester League title but won the cup and were runners up again the following year.

In recent seasons the 1st Team finished runners up in 2015/16 failing the ground requirements for promotion, while the U18 team won the Combination Central League of Leagues. The 2017/18 season saw the 1st Team narrowly miss out on promotion after being top at Christmas. In the Summer of 2019 the Roffey FC was finally awarded the funding and approvals to install floodlights and a spectator stand, allowing the club the opportunity to go forward. Later in 2019 Hills Farm Veteran’s club joined hands with Roffey FC to become the Vets team (vets being over 35!).

Post-covid, in the Summer of 2022 the 1st Team won the SCFL Division 1 title in a thrilling season gaining promotion to the Premier Division for the first time in the Club’s long history! After a difficult start to 2023 Season the team rebuilt and ended the season strongly, but too late to maintain its position in the Premier Division.
