U10s top team at Hayes

Thursday, 19 July 2007

Crawley Green U10s shocked a host of top London clubs by winning the Hayes FC tournament just weeks after forming.
Alan McCabe's and John Dudmish's newly-created team emerged triumphant as winners amid a high-quality field in the 7-a-side event which was held in Uxbridge. So, could this be yet another super team rolling off the McCabe/Dudmish production line?

Following the competition success, the team (pictured above) was invited to play against Spurs, Fulham, Arsenal and West Ham youth academies after impressing scouts from the Premier clubs.
Club stalwart Alan said: "When we got down there we realised there were some very good teams taking part, but we won the first game 3-0 and the boys played some really good football, eventually going on to win the tournament.
"They drew only one game and won every other match. Some scouts approached me afterwards and said they were impressed not only with the football but in the way the boys conducted themselves.
"A lot of people though we were from Crawley in London (there is only one Crawley) and were surprised when they found out we were from Luton.
Hopefully, it looks like Alan and John have yet another talented set of youngsters coming through the Crawley ranks.
