Match report: CPFC v Glenavon

Not often I get to see a Palace team play 10 minutes away from where I live in NI so I was glad to go to the CPFC 'Development Squad' match against Irish league side Glenavon from Lurgan. Terrible evening! The average age of our squad looked about 15 and none of them seemed to want to be there. They were nervous and not at all up for it. They didn't create a single chance all evening and ended up being lucky only to get thumped 4-0. To be fair, the Glenavon team did include several first team players and their player manager came on at one point presumably to be able to say he'd played against 'Crystal Palace' - wazzick. Our young keeper was the only one of the team who looked anyway decent. Not sure if anything was gained other than to confirm that most of the kids on show may not be up to it (then again, they have to start somewhere, so who knows?).
