Transfer Talk . . .

24th August 2003

The sensational news today is that Sunday Reserve manager Gary King (above) is set to sign former Luton Town and Tottenham Hotspur star Mitchell Thomas.

Mitchell turned out in a Club friendly (Sat Reserves v Sunday Reserves) and the former Hatter was impressed with the quality of the youngsters who played in both teams.

With Kevin D'Arcy and Andy Carr getting much-needed match practice for the Sunday Reserves it was the Sunday team that was packed with experience. However, it was the youngsters from the Saturday side who took the lead before going 2-1 behind. With excellent football being played by both teams the Saturday lads equalised just before half-time before eventually losing 4-2.

Another exciting addition is that first-team manager Danny Bonner has NOW SIGNED Rian MacDonald (above), who really outshone the big-name stars this morning. Rian had the opportunity to join another Club on Sundays and but decided to help the maroons in their quest for their first major Sunday title this season. The youngest of the MacDonald brothers has moved up to the Saturday first team and has excelled in both the first two matches.

The new Crawey Green Sunday third team played their first friendly this morning, running out worthy 3-0 winners against a South Beds Sunday league team. With 19 players turning out for match practice, the omens bode well for our new venture into the South Beds league.
