Evans - Out on the town

Crystal Palace youngster STEPHEN EVANS has been dropped from the Welsh under-21 for this week's clash against the Ukraine. EVANS and three teammates broke a curfew on Friday after the game in Armenia.

The Wales under-21 side crashed to their Armenian counterparts on Friday, but EVANS and 3 other Welsh players decided to spend some time in the Armenian night life.

The four players then were dropped from the squad that takes on Ukraine at Swansea's Vetch Field on Tuesday night.

The other three players were Cardiff City players Rhys Weston, Kevin EVANS and former Palace goalkeeper Lee Kendall.

Meanwhile, The Eagles under-17's beat top of the table Arsenal by three goals to nil on Saturday.

The goals, all of them in the first 30 minutes, were scored by Wayne Routledge (2) and Craig Dobson.
