FOOTBALL CLUB
aving first been established in 1991 , Montpelier Villa FC has gone on to develop a fine reputation and is now one of the largest clubs in the area . Their first team currently competes in the Southern Combination Football League Division 2 and they are led by Chairman Kevin Rowe who is supported by Secretary Trevor Wilson .
They are based at the Falmer Sports Complex which is part of the University of Sussex . It offers an all-weather surface for training as well as some of the best grass pitches in Sussex for matches played on Saturdays and Sundays .

This would provide them with the perfect platform from which to build for 2017 / 18 and as long as they are able to keep their current group of players and perhaps make one or two quality additions they will go into the new campaign with plenty of optimism . One of the highlights of the team ’ s performances so far this season has been the attacking brand of football that they have been able to produce . This has been reflected by the fact that they have found the back of the net 59 times at a rate of nearly three per game .

This in turn has the potential to provide them with a valuable source of additional revenue which is particularly important in the current financial climate . Montpelier Villa is not a club to focus solely upon their senior section and this is reflected by the fact that they also have a number of youth sides in place . These
