Following my earlier posting about the sporting success of Bennett teams last week, a recent Bennett alumnus, Jonathan Williams,  has made the Crystal Palace first team this season and scored a goal against Wigan Athletic in the Carling Cup.  His performances have resulted him in being selected for the senior Welsh national team for their next Euro qualifier. There is great interest in Jonathan’s dramatic progression from youth squad player to full international, which is being extensively covered in the Croydon local press.

We offer him our congratulations and wish him well for this season – I hope he will be a role model for our other aspiring sportsmen and women at Bennett now.
