Former Eaton Bray Lions Team

Posted on June 10, 2006

Village footballers from Eaton Bray won another League title this year and were unbeaten all season.

The former Eaton Bray Lions team who now play for Leighton United U11's won the Chiltern Youth league and only conceded 11 goals all season; this was the best record in all the chiltern leagues at all age groups. The Team had the following players from the village Ali Thorne, Callum Maxwell, Luke Reddington, Charlie Tickell, Josh Thompson, Seamus Ray and Alex Ellis.

Luke Reddington and Ali Thorne also won awards at the Leighton United Presentation Evening for their outstanding performances this season.

Oliver Maxwell from Eaton Bray has been signed by Luton Town Football Club for a second season. This year he has played against teams from Chelsea, Watford, Reading and Portsmouth. This has been a very hard season playing in this standard of football but Ollie has played very well to earn another year.
