Eagles receive County FA Award as Charter Standard Development Club of the Year

On Tuesday 2 June the Eagles received this award presented at the Hetfordshire FA County Awards evening, held at Watford FC. This is a great honour for the club and completes an exceptional year on the field, with success in two County Cup competitions, the winning of three league cups and a number of Royston Crow league titles. Chairman Tony Eden commented that “ this award reflects all the hard work put in by adult volunteers at the club, and in particular the efforts of its officers and team managers. I am proud of the achievements of the club and we shall continue to work hard improving standards and developing the club further”.
