Crawley’s cup heroes visit school

Crawley’s FA Cup heroes took some time out from training on Thursday (February 4) to visit pupils from Years 5 and 6 at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Catholic Primary School.

The players came to the school after the children wrote to manager John Yems to congratulate his side on their fabulous giant-killing school that day, was able to put their questions to the players including ‘What does a football manager do?’ and ‘What made you decide to become a professional footballer?’

Other members of the school community joined in via a Zoom link. After the Q&A session, Year 4 children showed off some of their developing soccer skills.

The visit helped our children, at a difficult time for us all, feel immensely proud of their town, their Football Club and themselves. It provided some great advice about facing challenges. Thank you, ‘Red Devils’, for giving up your time to put huge smiles on everybody’s faces! win over Leeds United in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup.
