The goal was scored by Santino Raia and Man of the Match was Kyle Lapompe.
George Pantelides Under 13 Girls won the second half 1-0 but having conceded three goals in the first half lost 3-1.

The Under 15 team who play their football in the London Premier League lost 5-2 against tough opponents. The team took a while to get going and found themselves two down early on but gamely came back to equalise thanks to two unbelievable strikes by Anthony Papadopoulos. Unfortunately their opponents scored two goals within a minute which made the rest of the game difficult. However, the boys never gave up and continued to improve as the game went on even though they conceded a fifth right at the end. Man of the Match was Andy Polycarpou
Kyri Georgiou’s Under 16 Green’s lost 6-3. Goals from Costa, Andrew and an own goal. Andrew Kirstides was named Man of the Match.
Nick Georgiou and Kenny Gregori’s Under 15 White lost 4-0. An encouraging second half performance bodes well for the future but it was not enough to counter a strong opponent. Stefanos Kizas was named Man of the Match.
Chris Gregoriou and Andy Kyriacou’s Under 16 White got back to playing football after a long winter break. It was a very rusty performance and the boys had to work hard to get a result after a poor first half. The second half was better and the passing started to come back with good movement too. A cross from deep into the box was met by Alex Androutsos who flicked a header into the far corner and he then followed that up with powerful shot from close range to go 2-0 up. The Under 16 White conceded late on but held on for a deserved win. Man of the Match was Alex Androutsos.
Mike Petrou and Kyri Haili’s Under 14 White got the New Year off to a flying start with a stunning 6-1 win. David Preece was named Man of the Match after grabbing four goals. Alex Papaloizou and Alex Theoharous got the other two.
