Weekend Sports Review

Matt Tubbs scored twice as Crawley beat Walsall 2-1 in their first game in a month.

The Reds, who hadn’t played since the 25th of January, remain just two points clear of the relegation zone, but have 7 games in hand over some of the clubs near the foot of the table.

In the lower leagues, Merstham had a good result on Saturday, winning 3-1 at Corinthian Casuals, while Redhill suffered a 3-1 defeat at Peacehaven and Three Bridges came out 3-0 winners at home. Horley Town suffered a 2-0 defeat away at Wembley, but the result of the day was undoubtably South Park’s 8-0 home thrashing of Alton Town.

Sports Money For Schools

Henry Smith, Crawley MP, has welcomed the news that the Prime Minister is keeping the £150 million a year primary pe and sport premium.

This means that between 2014 and 2020, local primary schools will receive around £1,558,164.

Local primary schools will use the premium to get children doing more sport.

Schools are using the money for a wide range of activities including hiring extra professional coaches and PE specialist teachers, buying new equipment, offering more after-school clubs and delivering holiday and weekend activities.
