The 40th annual handicapped childrens' christmas Party in the players lounge at Selhurst Park on Monday.

This year's event, organised by CP-FRIS, was a great success with Punch and Judy, Father Christmas, a DJ and members of the Palace first-team squad and management all present.

A big thank you to everyone who donated items and funds for the party.

The players, staff and supporters of Crystal Palace Football Club united to bring some Christmas cheer to the frail and elderly in Croydon.

Luxury food and drink items have been collected over the past month and will be distributed by the Croydon Neighbourhood Care Association over the next week.

The club would like to thank everybody who supported this great effort including our friends at J Sainsbury's, who donated a trolley of food.

Gary Issott's U18s side beat Stoke City 4-1 in the third round of the FA Youth Cup at Selhurst Park thanks to braces from Victor Moses and Jerahl Hughes.

The Eagles now face a home tie against Plymouth Argyle in round four.

The club have launched match tickets for January and February 2007 but we can now bring you details of some fantastic prices not to be missed as we offer you a fantastic new ticket bundle just in time for Christmas.
