Croydon Schools earn top marks
9:30am Wednesday 31st January 2001
Croydon Schools Football Associations U11 side made it 10 wins in 10 matches when they travelled to Orpington on Saturday.
But they were somewhat fortunate to come away with a 3-2 victory in the quarter-final of the English Schools Area Eleven Gills Shield.
Tommy Kavanagh (St James the Great School) put Croydon ahead after 17 minutes and an own goal 10 minutes after half time made it 2-0.
Orpington reduced the arrears but Aarron Miller (Davidson) made it 3-1 with 10 minutes remaining. Orpington scored again in the last minute of the match.
But Croydon Schools U13s lost to Islington & Camden, 1-0 in a London Schools FA Gill Cup quarter-final tie at Croygas.
Croydon keeper, David Wilkinson (Shirley High School) turned in an outstanding performance but Islingtons goal in the 25th minute of the match was all that separated the two sides in an evenly-contested encounter.
