Ronnie Bates' super U16s side secured a league and cup double on Tuesday, 15 May when they beat Leighton Town 1-0 in the league cup to follow up on their outstanding league championship in the top division at this age level.

Scorer of the Crawley goal was Warren Plowright who scored with a header from a corner in the 55th minute. Crawley then had three shots cleared off the line which could have made the result more comfortable than it was.

The cup win completed the double after having secured the Division 1 title with 3 games left to play having gone unbeaten up to the title win.
This was the second consecutive season that the team had won the Division 1 title, having won it at under 15s. The team has had a core of loyal Crawley players who have played for the club since U9s namely Scott Bates, Glen Freeman, Ryan Valentine and they were then joined at U11s by Shaun McGovern, Tom Peverall, Matty Coffey - all of whom played in the final.

The team, pictured top celebrate after their superb win at Ampthill Town FCs ground - a ground where Crawley have won three cup finals in as many weeks.
