AFC VARNDEANIANS PROVIDING FOOTBALL TO THE BRIGHTON COMMUNITY SINCE 1929

The V’s win 3-0 against Horsham YM at Centenary Park
Horsham Ym are at the foot of the table however Alex Walsh has done a good job at reshaping his squad and I’m sure there will be more additions. His and Horsham YM’s cause was not helped by a rash moment from Conner Collcutt who in the 19th minute decided to disagree with a refs decision and then tell him what he really thought as he was being sin binned. The red card came out.
We don’t actually have a great record against 10 men so it was with relief that the lads kept patient as Horsham Ym got into a defensive block but also have players that can hurt you and they nearly did just before half time with louie making a sharp save and the bar preventing us from going in 1-0 down.
The half time gave Brad and Haig time to give clear instructions to the team and it was with renewed energy that we started the second half. However, it wasn’t until the 65th minute that hte V’s made the break through with a fine volley from outside the area by Fred Midadje to break the dead lock after good work from sub Tidjhan Mienimona. Louie Sullivan was called into action to tip over a decent shot but the V’s were controlling possession and Tidjhan Mienimona once more effected the game this time scoring from 18 yards. Cavan Chedzey bagged our 3rd goal after a neat assist from Jona Maglente to settle all 3 points. It’s fair to say the starting 11 grafted for the first hour and controlled much of the game while the subs gave us the impetus to score proving the value of strength in depth.
5 matches and 5 good results for the V’s this weekend
The main aim of the Club is to provide football for young players in the Brighton community and we are proud to have 3 mens teams and 3 youth teams.
