Weekly Round-Up: Momentum on the Pitch and Early Preparations Underway (01/02)

February 2, 2026

With league football continuing across North London, Omonia Youth FC teams were back in action this weekend, producing a range of performances that reflected commitment, resilience, and ongoing development across the club.

Alongside the on-pitch action, early preparations are already underway for one of the club’s flagship events — the Omonia Youth FC 2026 Tournament. While the tournament itself has been running for many years, it entered a new chapter four years ago when it successfully transitioned into a mixed-gender competition, following the success of a girls-only tournament the year before. Today, it stands as one of very few mixed tournaments in and around London, welcoming both boys’ and girls’ teams across U7 to U15 age groups.

Set to take place on 6 & 7 June at the Radiomarathon Centre, the tournament continues to attract strong interest from clubs across the region. With places filling quickly each year, teams are encouraged to register early via the Tournify platform, using the link provided on the tournament flyers (tournifyapp.com/live/omonia2026), to secure their place in what has become a highly regarded and competitive event on the youth football calendar.

Below is a round-up of the weekend’s matches involving Omonia Youth FC teams.

U10 Green
Away vs Enfield Rangers U10 Black | WFL

The Greens were in fine form on a muddy lunchtime as they took on a strong Enfield Rangers U10 Black side in a lively and competitive fixture. The heavy pitch demanded energy and resilience, and the Greens responded superbly, matching their opponents’ intensity while showing real determination and togetherness from the first whistle.Despite the challenging conditions, the Greens played with confidence and purpose, moving the ball well and pressing intelligently across the pitch. Enfield Rangers proved to be a very good side and pushed hard throughout, but Omonia’s spirit, organisation, and teamwork shone through in a thoroughly engaging and well-contested match.

U16 Girls White
Away vs Lymore | Score: 0-1 | PotM: Elysia | GSL

Honestly. What a great performance today by the girls. They showed grit, fight and nothing short of relentless persistence, refusing to let their heads drop throughout the match. Falling behind to a single goal just before half-time was harsh on a side that worked tirelessly across the pitch.

The main challenge came in creating clear chances in the final third, but there were positive signs in the second half that showed real progress. Individually, every player gave a strong account of themselves. A special welcome back to Elysia, who delivered an excellent performance and earned a well-deserved Players’ Player of the Match vote.

U13 Gold
Home vs Titans U13 White | Score: 0-4 | PotM: Joe | WFL

The Golds put in a spirited performance at home against Titans U13 White. Despite going in 0–2 down at half-time, the boys showed energy and commitment throughout. David was outstanding early on, making several excellent saves, while Scott produced a brilliant goal-line clearance to keep Omonia in the contest.

In the second half, Johnny continued the solid goalkeeping display. Omonia kept pushing forward, with positive contributions from Andreas, Eren, Logan, Christian and Jack. Joe led by example all over the pitch, covering every blade of grass and earning Player of the Match. A tough result, but one that didn’t fully reflect the effort and teamwork on display.

U18 Girls
Away vs Garston U18 Girls | Score: 0-3 | Goals: Sophie, Eliza, Amelia | PotM: Amelia | Coaches: Sophia, Samuel, Myri

Another outstanding team performance from a group that continues to grow together week by week. With several players stepping into unfamiliar positions, the girls responded with maturity, adaptability, and confidence.

The opening goal was a perfect reflection of the team’s development, with excellent link-up play between Bri, Sheks and Sophie before a composed finish. Amelia delivered a phenomenal performance, excelling defensively before coming on to assist and score in attack. A brilliant display of teamwork, trust, and player development.

U13 White vs U13 Green
Intra-club Derby | Score: 3-2 | WFL

A hard-fought derby produced an exciting and evenly contested encounter. The Whites started strongly, applying pressure and moving the ball well through midfield, with Mikey finishing confidently to open the scoring before adding a second soon after.

The Greens responded well after the break, shifting momentum and drawing level through sustained pressure and determination. With the game stretched late on, it was the Whites who found the decisive moment, Christian delivering a dangerous ball that found its way past the goalkeeper to settle a thrilling contest.

U12 Green
Away vs APB Wingate U12 Rangers | Score: 1-5 | Goals: Tye, Sol, Alex | PotM: Ren | WFL

After last week’s victory over the same opposition, Omonia knew focus and discipline would be key. Wingate started strongly, but Omonia weathered the early pressure before growing into the game. Ren and Robert controlled midfield areas, allowing Omonia to play forward with purpose.

Tye opened the scoring before half-time and went on to complete back-to-back hat-tricks with two further excellent finishes. Sol and Alex added composed goals, while the defensive unit worked tirelessly to maintain control. A commanding and mature performance, capped by a stunning late save from James that earned applause from all sides.

As the season progresses, performances across the club continue to reflect strong development, resilience, and togetherness. With competitive fixtures ongoing and excitement already building around the Omonia Youth FC 2026 Tournament, the weeks ahead promise plenty both on and off the pitch as teams push forward together into the next phase of the campaign.
