It was Hanwell Town Youth however, a team comprising of several talented youngsters from South America, that survived the month of competitive fixtures to come out winners.

It could not have been closer as they held on to the slimmest of leads, eventually qualifying at the expense of rivals Baltic FC through a superior goal difference of one solitary goal.

Sandro Sandri, Coach and Manager of Hanwell Town Youth commented: "The team have shown composure and good strength when it mattered. I feel so proud. We can’t wait till the National Finals.

"Through the fabulous efforts and organisation of Futsal England we now have a genuine opportunity to put ourselves on the Futsal map!"

Crystal Palace is a perfect venue for Futsal with its impressive Main Arena. The Management and Staff could not have been more helpful in making this a successful event and Futsal England are now in negotiations to establish a Futsal Development Programme at the venue and see the facility as an important part of their future plans.
