April 29, 2025
A bright and competitive weekend for Omonia Youth FC saw teams across the age groups deliver exciting performances, spirited comebacks, and moments of individual brilliance. With the sun shining and the season nearing its conclusion for many, the commitment and development of our young players remained the biggest talking point.
U8 Green Shine in Spurts at Home
Home vs London Colney Youth Panthers – PotM: James | Coaches: Andy Savas, Dominic Willcock
A fast start from the U8 Green side showed real attacking intent against London Colney Youth Panthers. Leo and Leonidas impressed early on with sharp finishing, but the team’s momentum dipped mid-game, allowing the opposition more time and space. Encouragingly, the boys responded in the final quarter with Chris, Christian, and Manu linking up to create late chances. James was named Player of the Match for an alert and determined defensive performance.

Omonia U9 Silver impressed in an away fixture against Elites FA Borehamwood FC U9 Tiempos with a courageous team performance. The boys matched the challenge early, responded to pressure with breakaway chances, and defended brilliantly in the second half. Leo Agathangelou produced a sensational fingertip save, and some flowing play up front nearly led to a spectacular goal. Player of the Match went to Alexander, but the whole team earned praise.
U10 Girls Demonstrate Game Intelligence and Growth
Coaches: Theo Constantinou, Jake Mitchell, Katie Karakoukis
It was a proud showing from the U10 Girls, who played with excellent energy and applied their training effectively in a strong performance.

U10 Gold End Season with Character and Promise
Home vs HGS Sharks – PotM: Michael Kyprianou | Coaches: Chris Philippou, Andy Panayi, Joe Tanner
The Golds faced HGS Sharks at home in a testing encounter. After a bright opening spell, the game became a back-and-forth battle.

A proud day for the U12 Pan-Disability team who took part in their first tournament at HYIF. After months of hard work, the players displayed passion, bravery, and joy. Joseph stood out with multiple goals, while Connor, Shenelle, Freddy, Jidenna, and Raheem impressed with their fearless approach. The team finished runners-up, winning two and losing one match. Special thanks to the referee for showing compassion and helping manage moments of anxiety — a real example of football values in action.
U10 Silver Push Strong Opponents All the Way
