Crofton under 13's won division 3 in the charles rice league last season but struggled to put out full sides for their last few games mainly due to injurys. Another 2 or 3 players for next season would hopefully mean they have a chance of doing well again this time in a higher division . We look forward to having all the lads from last season back again and hopefully a few new ones. Training is Tuesday at 6pm. for any more detail please contact Mark on 07974627202

Against some stiff opposition Crofton made it gala win number 5
A great start for Crofton with a 4.0 win against Beeston but not so good in game two losing out 1.0 to Garforth Villa, back to winning ways against Kippax and Strathaven Dynamo's who had made the trip down from scotland and Crofton finish second in the group. A flying start in the semi scoring two early against Garforth's so called B side but Crofton had to hang on at the end for a 3.2 win. The side that beat them in the group were the opponents in the final and after a goalless first half Crofton's player of the tournament Josh Marsh somehow put the ball over the keepers head to score from the dead ball line. A defensive slip allowed Garforth back level and both sides looked out on their feet but one last effort from Crofton and Matty Tate won it with almost the last kick.

Crofton fell short of the mark last weekend losing 2.1 in the semi final at South Leeds and missing out on a semi spot on goal difference at Durkar but they certainly made up for it with a double today at Batley. In the A group Crofton made a slow start drawing their first 2 games but improved as the day went on and saw off old rivals Batley 1.0 in the semi before powering past Thornill 3.0 in the final. Andrew Nattrass was Crofton’s player of the tournament. A tough looking B group but Crofton rode their look to reach the semi’s. Liam McClean put the ball and the keeper in the net to put Bradford Wildcats out and make it a second Crofton v Thornhill final, Jack Reape’s goal looked like it had won it for Crofton before a late equaliser. Step up keeper Ben Reilly who kept out 3 out of 4 Thornhill’s penalties to complete the double for Crofton. Louis Crossland was player of the tournament Brilliant lads! ,

Despite the poor turnout at training Crofton scraped a team to together for Bramley gala. Straight forward league only no knockout stage. Worst possible start losing 1.0 to Seacroft first game, that out of the way, the boys recovered winning the next three games scoring 10 goals along the way which meant the gala was decided how it should be: on the last match of the day. Crofton v Bramley: A win for either side handed them the trophy while a draw meant victory for Seacroft who could only sit and watch. Bramley threw everything at Crofton but couldn’t find a way past defenders Sam Mackay and player of the tournament Ben Fowler and with less than a minute left Matty Tate fired home to win it for Crofton and win them the tournament on goal difference. You made us sweat today lads but brilliant result; let’s hope for a better turn out Tuesday night!
