These games formed part of the Watford and London International Festival of Football, held annually at Parmiter's School in Watford. The Reading Under-9 team for the 2000/01 season took part in the section of the tournament described as "Pro Youth Under-8". The reason for the apparent discrepancy in ages is that the cut-off date for Academy football is 31st August, whilst this tournament took place in July.

Group A table:

  P W D L F A GD Pts
Arsenal A 5 4 1 0 15 1 +14 13
Wimbledon 5 2 2 1 10 2 +8 8
Reading 5 2 1 2 4 7 -3 7
Watford 5 1 2 2 3 6 -3 5
Southampton 5 1 1 3 4 10 -6 4
Millwall 5 1 1 3 2 12 -10 4

Reading then lost a play-off game against the third placed team from Group B, Coventry City. Therefore, in some sense we came sixth in the competition (out of eleven teams).
