Crawley Green Lions U8s celebrate their league championship - completing a league and cup double in the process

Crawley Green Lions U8s clinched the Chiltern Junior Sevens Division 1 title at the weekend by beating Eaton Bray Lions 2-0, adding to their league cup success earlier in the season thus making it a league and cup double
With two games remaining the Lions cannot be caught by their nearest challengers - Crawley Green Tigers.
Manager Iain Black says: "The boys have played some fantastic football this season and have worked extremely hard to get where they are. Our record so far including grading and cup games reads P26 W23 D1 L2 and so far we have scored 97 goals whilst conceding as miserly 13.
It has been a great season for Crawley Green in the U8 age group with the Lions and the Tigers contesting the Division 1 Cup Final and finishing top and runners-up in Division 1 respectively.

This also reflects great credit on both sets of players, the managers, coaches, helpers and parents - and justifies the faith put into the youth and nursery coaching system by the Executive and Football Committess.
