THE Eakers Cup for the Best Young Player at Crediton Youth/Crediton United FC, for the 2020-21 season was awarded to Lewis Heywood.

Lewis started his football at Crediton as an Under 8 and played all the way through to the U16’s.

Lewis had played in various positions over the years, but in his last few seasons settled as a strong midfielder and captained the side.

Once eligible to play adult football he played for his local side, Dolton Rangers, and soon caught the attention of tiger league sides.

Earlier this season he returned to Crediton United and has been part of the first team squad since then and has gained lots of experience in the Peninsula League.
