The Crawley Town Flyers have booked their place in the semi-finals in a Sussex Disability Football Cup this month and are in with the chance to play in the final on June 11.

They won all-but-one of their group games to book a place in the final four with a late-morning kick off at Lancing FC’s Culver Road stadium – and if they win that game they will play in the final on the same day.

In the week leading up to the event, the Disability Football League’s chairperson, Steve Atkins will be walking 100 miles to the ground and stopping at each of the club’s stadiums on the way.
