February 9, 2026
Under grey winter skies, Omonia Youth FC were back in competitive action this weekend, with league and cup fixtures continuing to take centre stage across the club. Alongside the weekly matches, preparations are well underway for Omonia’s annual summer tournament, which has become a standout date in the grassroots calendar – with age groups from U7 through to U15 and places filling quickly each year, coaches are strongly encouraged to register early via Tournify to avoid missing out on what is always a highly sought-after event.
Turning attention to the weekend’s football:
U11 Girls Silver: Tested but United
GSL | Away vs Marylebone U11 Girls | PotM: Emilia & Maya
Omonia Youth FC U11 Girls Silver
On a challenging morning against a very well-drilled and experienced opposition, the Under-11 Silver girls were tested from the first whistle. The tempo was high throughout and the girls were required to defend for long periods, but their resilience and togetherness were clear to see. They worked tirelessly across the pitch, supporting one another and continuing to compete right to the end despite sustained pressure. There were moments of bravery on the ball, strong goalkeeping, and a real determination not to shy away from the challenge. Emilia and Maya were rightly recognised by the coaches for their excellent defensive work, while Evie was named Player of the Month for January following a series of strong recent performances.
U15 White: Spring Plate Statement
WFL Spring Plate | Home vs Hinton Revolution Heroes | 4–0 | PotM: George | Coaches: George A., Mark H.
A professional and assured performance from the Whites in their opening Spring Plate fixture. Building on recent training work, Omonia looked increasingly dangerous from wide areas, with crosses into the box causing constant problems. River opened the scoring with a well-drilled finish from a set-piece delivery by Chris, before George doubled the lead with a composed strike after creating space for himself in the area. At the back, Ryan, Denis and Alex P provided a solid platform, ensuring a 2–0 advantage at the break.
The second half saw Omonia adjust shape to control the game further. The Whites dominated possession and tempo, adding two more goals through sustained pressing and intelligent movement. George completed his hat-trick, earning a deserved Player of the Match award, while notable contributions came from Atila on the left, Theo in midfield, and Edmund leading as captain. A strong all-round display highlighting the team’s adaptability and growing cohesion.
U16 Girls White: Grit on Display
GSL | vs Youngs U16 | 0–0
Omonia Youth FC U16 Girls White
An extraordinary performance from the girls, who were forced to play the majority of the match with fewer players after an early injury. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the team were compact, disciplined and relentlessly committed to the task. They defended as a unit, showed composure on the ball, and made intelligent decisions under pressure. There were passages of excellent football mixed with moments of pure determination, as the girls refused to allow an unbeaten opposition to impose themselves. Mia was outstanding in front of the defence, controlling the tempo and offering stability throughout, though the collective effort from every player made this a performance to be proud of across the board.
U16 Pan-Disability: Growing Confidence
Middlesex FA U16 League
Omonia Youth FC U16 Pan-Disability
A demanding afternoon featuring three fixtures, but one that showcased the group’s continued progress. The boys rotated positions throughout, including in goal, and produced their most complete performance to date. First touch, work rate and understanding all showed clear improvement, with Matthew driving forward confidently and contributing goals. Joseph and Jaydon were excellent all-round, Barbod impressed with his commitment and goalkeeping, and Zac integrated seamlessly with the group. A day full of effort, smiles and development, reflecting the strength of the Pan-Disability programme.
U15 Gold: Belief Gained
WFL | vs Maccabi | Goals: Noah, Dino | PotM: Loui & Noah
Omonia Youth FC U15 Gold
The Golds faced a tough test against league leaders in their opening Spring Cup fixture. A nervous start saw the boys fall behind early, struggling to win second balls and impose themselves. However, as the first half progressed, confidence began to grow and Omonia started to play with greater belief. The second half told a different story, with sustained pressure, improved passing and increased attacking intent. Two well-taken goals set up a frantic finish, and with more time the boys may well have completed the comeback. Despite the result, this was a positive day that reinforced just how capable the group is when they trust their quality.
It was another weekend that underlined the depth, resilience and togetherness running throughout Omonia Youth FC. With teams continuing to learn and grow week by week, league football remains the clear priority—but the summer tournament now looms as an exciting opportunity on the horizon. With limited spaces and growing demand, early registration is strongly advised, ensuring Omonia’s community is well represented at one of the club’s flagship events of the year.
