Colin MacCleaster

It is with the saddest of hearts that I let you all know that we sadly lost a legend of our football family this week Colin MacCleaster.

Colin played many roles within the club over the years and was one of the driving forces in uniting the three Crawley Down clubs  to create the wonderful club we now know. He also played a pivotal part in many local football leagues and with the youth back in the 80's. He was also the reason I joined the club back in the mid 80's, as he offered me a pathway into adult football.  A journey  which has created memories that are a huge part of my life and will live on as some of my fondest.

As I said, Colin played many roles in the club over the years and was a huge supporter on and off the pitch. I can honestly say that he was a huge part of the foundations that created everything we have today. We will always be thankful to him and his family,  and he will be sorely and lovingly missed.

We extend our sympathies to Rita, Alan Suzanne, Julie and all their family and friends, and will observe a minute's applause before the match this evening, which is the least we can do. RIP Colin and thank you for giving me the memories and the opportunity to be  where I am now.

Match Report: CDG U18’s 2 Horsham FC U18’s 3

CDGFC U18s started their league campaign against defending champions Horsham this Sunday.

The spectators were treated to a very entertaining game with CDGFC taking the lead through George Ferrar after  a lovely through ball from Rodrigo Morales. Unfortunately, Horsham answered back just before HT to make it 1-1. The second half saw Horsham gain 2 further goals before Rodrigo Morales pulled one back with a low drive into the corner from just inside the 18-yard box to make it 3-2. CDGFC pushed for an equaliser and had chances but couldn't get it done before full-time. MOM for CDGFC was Finley Mott.
