Weekly Round-Up: A Weekend Defined by Effort and Unity (25/01)
January 26, 2026
This weekend’s fixtures were played against a backdrop of reflection and togetherness across the club. Prior to kick-off, Omonia teams observed a minute’s silence in memory of Amos Curtis, a valued and much-loved figure within the wider Omonia TFA setup. The gesture was carried out with respect and unity across age groups, setting a tone that reflected the club’s values both on and off the pitch.
U11 Girls Silver
Home vs HGS Raiders Girls | PotM: Sofia
U11 Girls Silver
The Under 11 Silver girls faced a tough challenge in difficult, dreary conditions against a highly experienced and well-organised opposition. From the opening whistle, the match demanded resilience, focus, and determination. While the opposition showed their quality with strong, clinical finishing, the girls continued to compete throughout and never stopped working for one another.
There were encouraging passages of play, improved teamwork, and plenty of effort on display across the pitch. Managers’ Player of the Match was Sofia, whose tireless running set the standard, while special credit goes to Emilia for stepping in to cover the injured Aayla in goal during the closing stages.
U9 Greens
Away vs Alexandra Park West U9 | PotM: Manu | Coaches: Andy, Paul, Chris
In challenging conditions, Omonia started slowly, with limited communication allowing the opposition some early openings. However, the boys showed persistence and gradually settled into the game, keeping the contest finely balanced at half-time.
The second half saw increased attacking intent, led by Manu’s direct running and forward drive. Late in the match, some defensive shape was lost, but there were positives throughout, including tireless work from strikers Michael and Leonidas. Manu’s influence earned him Player of the Match.
U12 Green
Home vs APB Wingate U12 Rangers | Goals: Tye x6, Talal, Xander | PotM: Robert | Coaches: Archie, Nick T
Following an impeccably observed minute’s silence for Amos Curtis, the boys began with real intensity. Despite the heavy pitch making their usual passing style difficult, confidence grew quickly after Tye dispatched a superb free kick into the top corner.
Relentless midfield pressing, solid defending, and clinical finishing saw Omonia surge ahead, with Tye completing a first-half hat-trick and later adding more to his tally. The second half focused on maintaining a clean sheet, with Xander scoring his first of the season.
This was a landmark performance that reflected the hard work, unity, and resilience the group has shown throughout the season.
U11 Green
Away vs Titans Blue
Before kick-off, the team observed a minute’s silence to remember Amos, known fondly by some as “Unc’s”.
From first to last whistle, the boys pressed relentlessly. While passing play improved significantly after half-time, the standout feature was the exceptional work rate across the pitch, limiting the opposition’s opportunities. A highly positive and disciplined team performance.
U13 Gold
Home vs HGS U13 Jaguars | PotM: Joe
Playing in dark and wet conditions, the Golds showed strong energy early on, with Johnny producing several fine saves. A brilliant goal from Eren lifted the team, while Reon and Teddy contributed well defensively and in midfield.
Despite the final score, the boys continued to press, support each other, and show resilience. Player of the Match was awarded to Joe by captain Reon after a strong all-round display.
U15 Girls White
Away vs Kick Action U15 Girls | Score: 3–1
U15 Girls White
A huge effort from the girls, who competed with no substitutes against title challengers. Commitment, pressing, and counter-attacking threat kept the game finely balanced at half-time.
Despite tiring late on, the team continued to fight, with a late goal providing a deserved reward for their spirit. Nine Player of the Match performances summed up a courageous display.
Pan-Disability (U16 & U20)
HYIF Tournament at The Dome, Watford
A long but rewarding afternoon for the Pan-Disability squads.
The U16s, working with a small squad and guest players, showed outstanding teamwork and resilience, holding on in a decisive final game to secure the tournament. Joseph and Matthew were recognised for Sportsmanship and Great Player awards.
The U20s continued their development, with Ridwan scoring on his tournament debut and strong passing displays from Leo and JJ highlighting progress in training.
U15 White
Home vs Norsemen | Score: 4–1 | Coaches: George A., Mark H. | PotM: Edmund
U15 White
A high-intensity home performance saw the Whites deliver their strongest first half of the season. New positional setups paid dividends, with effective passing, pace, and composure creating a deserved halftime lead.
Despite conceding against the run of play, the team maintained control and finished strongly. Edmund’s energy and creativity from midfield earned him Player of the Match in a deserved victory.
U18 Girls
Away vs Chorleywood U18 Girls | 1–1 | Goal(s): Ellie x1
A performance that drew nothing but pride from coaches and parents alike. With no substitutes available and several players recovering from illness, the demands of a full 90 minutes posed a real challenge—but the girls responded superbly.
They came together as a unit, battled for one another, and showed outstanding determination throughout. Communication was excellent, defensive organisation was strong, and transitions were handled with real energy and intelligence. Ellie’s goal was a deserved reward for the team’s persistence, and the draw could easily have been more.
With only 11 players available, every single girl gave an incredible shift. Player of the Match was simply impossible to single out—this was a true team performance built on resilience, commitment, and togetherness.
It was a weekend that reflected the spirit of Omonia Youth FC — unity, resilience, and collective pride. From moments of remembrance to performances full of effort and character, the club once again showed what it stands for. As teams continue to develop and grow together, both on and off the pitch, there is a strong sense of momentum and optimism for the weeks ahead.
