Weekly Round-Up: Cup Progress and Determination in Difficult Conditions (22/02)
February 23, 2026
Severe weather across the weekend meant that many fixtures were unfortunately postponed, but two Omonia sides still managed to take to the pitch and produce encouraging performances. Despite the challenging conditions, both teams showed commitment, resilience and quality — with one side continuing an impressive run in the Spring Cup.
U14 Silver
Spring Cup | Away vs AFC Southgate | Win 5–1 | Goal-scorers: Albion (2), Jack (2), Nick
A strong and well-earned victory saw the U14 Silver side finish top of their group and progress into the quarter-finals of the Spring Cup. Omonia began the match in control, managing possession well and creating the better opportunities during the first half.
At the break, the focus was on increasing attacking intent and playing with greater tempo. The second half started positively, although a defensive error allowed AFC Southgate to score against the run of play. The response from the boys was immediate and impressive. A flowing passing move led to Albion finishing confidently to level the score, before he added a superb solo goal soon after.
Momentum firmly shifted in Omonia’s favour, with Jack finishing neatly on two occasions before Nick completed the scoring with a remarkable free kick from 30 yards out. A composed and confident display that keeps the cup journey moving forward.
U9 Green
Away vs United Dragons U9 Blue | Player of the Match: Leonidas | Coaches: Andy, Paul & Chris
Played on a muddy surface that made fluent passing difficult, the Greens started brightly and created several early chances through positive attacking play. As the half progressed, the team lost some of their shape and began holding onto the ball slightly too long, allowing United Dragons a spell of pressure before the interval.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with encouraging attacking moments alongside areas where improved composure and structure will be key moving forward. There was plenty to like in the team’s attacking intent, and the experience will provide valuable learning points for training.
Leonidas produced an excellent all-round performance, showing great energy and determination in both attack and defence to earn a well-deserved Player of the Match.
