V's out of the FA Vase against
@EpsomEwell
3-1
Many thanks for the warm hospitality and good luck in the next round.
Not many father and son playing a full 90 minutes in the competition. One covered every inch of the pitch in midfield, no surprises who, life in him yet.
The v’s committee are pleased to announce Ryan Gayler will continue as first team manager after a huge effort to guide us out of relegation. Justin Jones will assist Ryan and the players are keen to build on our end of season form and start pre season training.
Fantastic 2-1 win on the road at Pagham.
From 4 points after 21 games to 24 points from the last 13 games 👏 Four wins on the bounce
Well done to all the players, Kevin, Ryan and Dave
The V’s are pleased to announce Justin Jones
@jjstopphe
as our first team manager. He has been at the club as a player, coach and assistant for the last 7 years and deserves this opportunity.
The club are pleased to announce Ryan Gayler as first team manager with a history of both playing & coaching at the club we welcome Ryan back to the V’s⚽️ we look forward to a new era and building on the clubs foundations 🔴⚫️⚽️

Second best today, big thank you for the hospitality shown by BBH, great club and set up
But we stay up 👏 which didn't look likely four months ago
Well done to Joint Managers Dave Bridges and Ryan Gayler and every single player that has represented the club this season
Our manager Ryan Gayler has stepped down after a year of dedicated service to the club. He deserves a well earned break from football. He has left a legacy at the v’s over the years, including keeping us up last season and I wish him all the best in his next football role.
We are pleased to announce
@LawEdwardsBHA
has agreed to take over as 1st team manager. Law has been at the club for 4 years as a player and also managed the V’s during the difficult period of Covid. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of the game.
That fa cup magic. 2-1 away

tight game goals from joe Keehan and Matt Waterman. The singing on the coach could be better. Seeet Caroline.

Should / could have been 3 or 4 but did not take our chances. Our defence was outstanding to deny them not a single chance.
Good luck on the title run and thanks for the hospitality
Thanks to
@hailshamtownfc
physio for your help with Kev Keehan who is doing well today if not a little shaken. Exciting game and well done on the last second win.
We would like to extend our thanks to 1st Manager
@JMctiffen
for all his efforts since stepping up in January for the remainder of the season. Fantastic run to end on a high, played 7, won 5 and drawn 1. We wish Joe every success in the future.
Thanks to
@lawedwardsBHA
for his time and commitment both as a player and manager for the V's. He will be missed and we wish him all the best for the future.
Great all round team performance from the V's ends 1-1
Special mentions to Sonni Nealgrove outstanding on his debut and Marley Bigg with a superb solo goal.
Credit to Crowborough for their late equaliser and to their committee who applauded the V's players at the end 👏
Considering what it looked like 4 weeks ago. Having not been cut, watered or touches for the whole of lockdown. I reckon us Volunteers have got it oooking pretty decent
@AFCVarndean

Delayed on M23 for 2 hours, short warm up, late KO and one down after 5 minutes was not a great start.

The only way to get rid of the frustration of not being accepted in the FA Cup is to weed the Withdean pitch for 2 hours. Good luck to the SCFL step 6 teams that have made the extra prelim draw.
The awards night on Friday finished at 3am so good effort by the players yesterday to win 4-1 and claim 3rd place. Photo taken in the toilets at concorde2. Such a classy club!
Announcement: The club has decided to part company with 1st team manager Justin Jones. We would like to thank him for his commitment, dedication and enthusiasm in the role and wish him all the best in the future.

Fin's lovely finish into the far corner, from Kyle's slide rule pass, is enough to secure an important win for the lads.

Free scoring Bradley Murray pulled one back before half time to keep the game alive and second half goals from Matt Waterman secured the points for the V's.
