After a difficult summer where it looked like they might have trouble getting a home pitch to play on, the parish council came through for them and the team won its first game in the second division of the Chichester & West Sussex Sunday Football League at the Park Road recreation ground.

“We’re a good team – we’re all good mates,” he said.
