Representing the league at Holy Trinity School in Gossops Green, Crawley against Bournemouth, Brighton, Haywards Heath and Wembley and Harrow Leagues, they won all matches 5-0 to qualify for the finals as group-winners.

George Hazell said: “We want to do the league proud, I started in division two of this league and worked my way up. It has helped my game a lot. Everyone is very supportive.”

Josh who joined the Premier league two seasons ago said: “It’s a great league, good quality games and very sociable, we enjoy playing in it and hope to bring the cup back again to Crawley & Horsham.”

With James Smith another top junior sat on the reserves bench the league’s team is certainly strong.

Hopes are high and fingers are crossed for a good result at the National Finals on June 18.

They will be joined at the finals by girls team Kate Cheer and Alice Hazell who automatically qualified straight through.
