Really enjoyed making my debut with @hassocksfc yesterday. Cherry on top finishing the game on top of the @TheSCFL 👊🏻 What a great group they have here.
FT: It's never dull is it 😬 Budd's free kick wins it right at the death. Hassocks 2-1 @PT_FC. The Robins go top of the league and I'm going for a lie down

The club had lost a real asset today. From paying for training facilities out of his back pocket to cutting back the shrubs, he was more than just the first team manager. RPV man of the decade.
The club has released an official statement that is available for you to read down below. #UpTheVale

Football clubs are defined through their club legends. DB is irreplaceable in our history, leaving his mark both on the pitch and off it. RIP.
🔵 Dave Brenen .We are very sad to hear that Raynes Park legend, former captain, .Chairman & President Dave Brenen has passed away. DB, a Geordie from South Shields joined the club in 1973 & played Left Back & was captain for many years. Before that Dave had played (contin. ).

Worth mentioning that 14 of the 28 first team players were down at the ground helping today. Not very often you get such volunteer commitment from the players themselves at this level and above!.
Great work down the club today from the players, management and committee members. We are slowly getting there, and it is great to see everyone pull together during this time. Check out some of the before, during and after photos. We are all in this together. UP THE VALE💪
