David Blackmore

The Argus tells us that our 19 year old goalkeeper David Blackmore is looking to go out on loan with Crawley Town, as he did last year with Lewes F.C., This seems to be the second team he has been trialing for as he had some games with Barnet earlier this summer but didn't stick. At this time I don't think the loan is official but he has played in a few games for them and was on the bench last Saturday as Crawley lost to Southend.

Blackmore, who I believe is a third-year scholar in the academy, signed a 4 year deal with the Hammers last year and along with Marek Štěch gives us a solid presence between the pipes for our youth team.

I hope that this is solely a loan move and that he is not going to be sold, I firmly believe that all our youngsters should be given a chance to show what they can do if put up against the big boys.
