Two teams from Sutton Juniors will be heading to Holland in May thanks to a massive fund-raising effort.

A total of 51 people representing Sutton U-11s A and B squads, will be leaving by coach on Friday, May 23, to stay in Lumenburg.

The Sutton teams will play two friendlies on the Saturday and then take part in a tournament on the Sunday, including an Academy team from PSV Eindhoven.

Craig Sanderson, manager of the Sutton U-11s A team, said both teams will also go a tour of PSV Eindhoven's ground on the Saturday afternoon.

The matches for Sutton Juniors have been organised by the England FA.

However the club have managed to come up with the money for the trip through a fund-raising campaign which has seen the club raise more than £7,000.

Sanderson said £3,500 has been raised through sponsorship, £3,200 from bag packings at Sainsbury's in Keighley and Morrisons in Skipton and another £600 from a raffle.

The two teams, who play their games at Sutton Park, are sponsored by JN Bentley of Skipton and Cross Hills company WarmFloors.

Sanderson said the club has a total of 120 players, whose age groups range from U-7s to U-16s. The U-7s to U-11s play seven-a-side and U-12s to U-16s play 11-a-side.

Sanderson's U-11s A team have lost only one game in the Keybury League this season, winning 11 and drawing one. The U-11s B side are mid-table in their division.

The club will be drawing raffle prizes at Eastburn Inn on Saturday, March 8, at 8pm.

Special guests could include Peter Armitage of Coronation Street and Ian Bleasdale of Casualty.
