These games formed part of the Watford and London International Festival of Football, held annually at Parmiter's School in Watford. The Reading Under-10 team for the 2000/01 season took part in the section of the tournament described as "Pro Youth Under-9". 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 11 0 +11 13
Coventry City 5 2 1 2 7 2 +5 7
Reading 5 1 2 2 1 4 -3 5
Southampton 5 1 2 2 2 10 -8 5
Millwall 5 0 4 1 0 2 -2 4
Norwich City 5 0 4 1 1 4 -3 4

Reading then drew a play-off game against the third placed team from Group B, Luton Town. Therefore, in some sense we came equal fifth in the competition (out of eleven teams).
