No treble - but three doubles!

The season ended on a high note for Crawley teams with Gary King's Saturday side just failing to complete a remarkable treble - but gaining a superb double in the process - Gary's first season in charge of the Saturday side.

Two other league and cup doubles for Club teams were achieved by Rob Burton and Alan McCabe for the U8s and Ronnie Bates with his U11s.

Gary King (above) had a superb first season in charge leading his team to a terrific league and county cup double, narrowly failing in a unique treble as the team unluckily lost 3-2 on penalties in the league cup after finishing scoreless after exta time.

Two blatant penalty appeals turned down - one handball on the line - during normal time left the maroons bemoaning their luck and with better finishing Crawley should have put the game beyond Dunstable 98 long before the final whistle.
But the Club congratulate everyone involved for a season to remember!

Rob Burton and Alan McCabe were the first team to celebrate their double achievement as their talented U8s grabbed their first-ever silverware in what we hope is more to come from these youngsters - the first to emerge from the Nursery Section.

Alan and Rob celebrate the double with their terrific youngsters.

The final double of the season was achieved by Ronnie Bates' talented U11s who beat Shefford Saints 4-0 in the final after outplaying them with totally fluent football.

Congratulations to the managers, coaches, parents, helpers and not least, the players for a magnificent season.

Other creditable results were Nora Moran's U14 girls who reached their first cup final this season - after several years of hard work by Nora, who deserves every accolade for furthering girls football at the Club. We now run three teams and are hopeful we will see this increase in the future.

Jim Betts' U16 boys narrowly lost their league cup final 1-0 to Leighton Town, having had most of the goal scoring chances, but just lacking that final thrust to put them away.

Congratulations and commiserations to both Jim and Nora for their hard work over the season.
