CHRISTMAS FAIR

The Christmas Fair was a huge success and raised £877! Pete and Alice the Eagles made a special appearance which was fantastic, and Shaun from Disco and Balloons Ltd (details below) gave his fabulous disco services for free, making it a brilliant party atmosphere! Crystal Palace Football In The Community provided their fastest-shot machine which was great fun and helped to raise even more money, with Joshua Taylor winning the fastest shot prize.

    *** SUTTON EAGLES YOUTH TEAM ***

    As from Saturday 21st October, 2006, Sutton Eagles F.C. will be starting a Youth Team for players of 16 years and over.

    This means that the training sessions at Westcroft will be at the following times:

    • 2:00-3:00pm 5 - 12 year olds
    • 3:00-4:00pm 13 - 16 year olds
    • 4:00-5:00pm 16+ year olds

    All sessions will still be coached by Crystal Palace F.C. coaches, and the Youth Team will be run with the help and funding of Sutton Mencap.

    The age ranges for these groups are not totally rigid, and players will be able to play with the group they feel most comfortable with, as agreed by the coaches.

    • A huge thank you to the Creative Partnership for the generous donation of £500. •

    Champions World Cup

    Well done to everyone who took part in the Champions World Cup on Sunday 14th May. The Under 16's did a great job and made it through to the semi finals where they were defeated by Holland. The Under 11's made a valiant attempt, but faced with much older players on the other teams (one team had a 16 year old in it!) they were unable to make it past the group stages, but I think everyone had a fantastic time and enjoyed the day.

    So thanks to:-

    Under 11's team:

    • Josh Taylor
    • Luke Copping
    • Connor Tong
    • Ferdie Gould
    • David Sullivan

    Chelsea Friendly - 12th March

    Sutton Eagles had a great time at the friendly match against Chelsea in Wandsworth on 12th March. We managed to keep Chelsea at bay for the first half, finishing the half at a respectable 5-3, but we lost our hold in the second half, and eventually lost 9-4. Despite this, everyone had a brilliant time, and as this was our first friendly match ever, and against recent tournament winners Chelsea, everyone was pleased with the result.

    Thanks to:
    Alastair Smith, Ben Lankshear, Joshua Taylor, James West, Nicky West, Ryan Pyne, Harry Phillips, Guy Oakenfold, Mason Dearling, Robbie Dearling, Ferdie Gould, Luke Copping, Connor Tong and Thomas Whale for playing a fantastic game!

    Volunteers Neeeded!

    As you may have noticed, Sutton Eagles F.C. seems to have been growing in size of late, and as the club is run by volunteers (Genevieve, Nick and Grace), we have been finding it quite a struggle to keep on top of everything!
    We would therefore really appreciate any help from volunteers in the following areas;
    • Fundraising ideas and helping to put them into practice
    • Mailouts of training dates and newsletters
    • Administration at sessions - helping with register and taking subscriptions
    • Helping with coaching at training sessions (training to be provided)

    If anyone is interested in helping out in any of these areas, please contact us.

    Special thanks to:

    Joshua, Lee and Rachel Taylor and Geoffrey and Gareth Moret-Richards for helping to raise £332 for the club at Crystal Palace's match against Sheffield Wednesday in September. Also, a big thanks to Westcroft Leisure Centre for providing the hall for our training sessions.
