Crystal Palace Ladies Reds U10s finished as runners-up in their age group at the FA’s national youth futsal festival in Birmingham. 

Having topped a group made up of St Anne’s Rovers (Merseyside), the New Saints (Shropshire) and Tottenham Hotspur, Palace then beat AFC Leicester in the semi-final 2-0.

That set up a final against the New Saints, which went to penalties following a 2-2 draw.

Sadly Palace were defeated in the shoot-out but can still boast they are the second best team in the country from a competition which attracted more than 2,500 teams.
