Crawley Town 2 - Kettering 1. Saturday was crucial for The Reds as they returned to the prime objective - "Project Promotion". After the heady success of knocking Derby out of the FA Cup, Crawley found themselves one goal down at half-time to the visitors. The second-half saw Crawley get into their stride with goals from Richard Brodie and Matt Tubbs to earn The Reds all three points. Assistant mananger Paul Raynor said; “It was a massive three points.”

This puts The Red Devils second in the league, one point behind Wimbledon, who earlier in the week only managed to scrape one point from their draw with Luton. One point behind, but a massive THREE games in hand!

Tomorrow (Tues) sees Crawley travel to 14th placed Bath City and hoping to get all the points from both meetings, whilst Wimbledon have on the face of it a tougher challenge away to 4th placed on-form Fleetwood Town who will give them a really tough time hopefully.

So Tuesday 18th Jan. is quite an important day... Watch this space!

COME ON YOU REDS!

CRAWLEY GO TOP !

A goal in each half for Matt Tubbs saw Crawley take the points at Bath. Bath 0 - Crawley 2.

Meanwhile, Fleetwood held Wimbledon to a 1-1 draw, but Luton had a bit of a bash, beating York 5-0.

Another very important result, well done Crawley

THE REDS GO MARCHING ON!

Torquay 0- Crawley Town 1

Amazing, it could have been 3 for Crawley as two second half penalties for Crawley were saved.

Matt Tubbs first half goal proved decisive in the end.

Crawley now progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup and join an elite group of non-league teams to have ever progressed this far, into the last sixteen.

A really big team will be next and the draw will be made tomorrow (Sun). I hope it's not Brighton as it would be great to have two local, Sussex, teams there but whoever it is....Bring it on!!!!

Fantastic "Boy's-Own comic" stuff!

COME ON YOU REDS!!

FA Cup Draw.

I said that Crawley would get a big team. Well they don't come much bigger than Manchester United!

Crawley travel to Old Trafford, nicknamed the Theatre of Dreams by Bobby Charlton, on either the 19th or 20th Feb.

So we have The Red Devils vs The Red Devils!

What a match this is going to be and what an opportunity for a big upset, which probably won't happen but it is nice to dream

Come on Crawley! xxx

Manchester United 1 - Crawley Town 0

Every dream must have an ending.

Crawley were the best team for a large part of the match but in the end could not make up for the only goal of the game.

They can rightly hold their heads up high. They were ambassadors for non-league football. One of the most entertaining games I have watched - ever!

Now, they have to "come-down" and get on with the real challenge - "Project Promotion". This resumes on Tuesday 22nd Feb when they host 18th placed Southport at Broadfield. Southport will be looking for a big scalp and Crawley will be keen to take the three points to close the six point gap that Wimbledon have, although Crawley have 5 games in hand. Wimbledon, on paper, have a harder task, hosting 4th placed Wrexham, who got thrashed at home on Saturday 2-7 by mid-table Gateshead! Let's hope Wrexham find their form again.

Crawley have a busy time ahead until the end of the season, but this FA Cup run has really given them some marvellous opportunities and experience - Well done Lads!

COME ON YOU REDS!
