Capel Football Club

We are approaching the end of a season badly disrupted by the weather. Our 1st X1 reached the Chichester Charity Cup Quarter Finals only to lose narrowly in extra time and are challenging for promotion but look as though they may just miss out. The Reserves reached the semi finals of their league cup only to lose a tight game 1-0 to Ajax (no not the dutch masters but a team from Bognor) ad have clinched promotion and are challenging for the championship. We offer football and truing for several players 16 and over and are in the highly competitive West Sussex Football League which is expertly run and of a high standard. We will be on the look out soon for players for next season.

As with the club we rely on a dedicated band of officers to run the club and provide the framework for the players. Unfortunately our secretary Penny Gregg is having to relinquish her post because of family commitments after several years of loyal service. We are on the lookout for a new secretary, it is an interesting and rewarding role, although a voluntary position reasonable expenses incurred our paid and all training will be given. If interested please contact Chris Anderson on 01306 711080 to discuss and hopefully become part of our footballing family.

Sports Club Redevelopment

Posted on by

Capel Cricket and Football club are current exploring options to redevelop the facilities on the rec. The pavilion is looking very tired and currently does not meet most requirements. With nearly 100 colts involved in the cricket club, the building also does not have the required floor plan dimensions.

A grant has already been successfully secured in the sum of £50,000 and a Steering Group involving members from the Cricket and Football Clubs has been set up to look into the various possibilities and options. this will be done in phases with the first one likely to involve a new garage being constructed, to house the ever-growing amount of ground maintenance equipment and also to free up some space.

We will keep everyone posted as things move along and there will be lots of fund raising events and requests for donations in the coming months.

If you have any questions at this early stage please feel free to contact me at antrhony.birch@sladeedwards.co.uk or visit the club during the Cricket Season as I can normally be found up there. Of course if anyone wants to offer help or get involved then again we would love to hear from you.
