These games formed part of the Graham Taylor International Festival of Football, held annually at Parmiter's School in Watford. The Reading Under-13 team for the 2002/03 season took part in the section of the tournament described as "Pro Youth Under-13 (Saturday)".

There were eight teams, split into two groups of four. Matches were played over 20 minutes each way. Reading were in Group B and the final group table was as follows:

  P W D L F A GD Pts
Arsenal 3 3 0 0 9 2 +7 9
Queens Park Rangers 3 1 1 1 5 3 +2 4
Reading 3 1 0 2 3 8 -5 3
Norwich City 3 0 1 2 1 5 -4 1

At the end of the day, Reading played in a play-off game against the third placed team from the other group. As we lost this game, in some sense we came sixth out of the eight teams.
