Youth TeamMay 19, 2010, 9:47 pm REGRETTABLY THE CLUB WILL NOT BE RUNNING YOUTH TEAMS AT ANY AGE GROUP IN 2010/11 Jan 24, 2010, 10:21 pm THE UNDER 16s produced a superbly committed performance which deservedly makes them the First Borough team to reach a Cup Final this season. Their semi-final victims were the hitherto unbeaten L.O.A.S.S (in full - The Leyton Orient Advanced Soccer School no less !) and Borough's determined performance which included a Terrell Hunter hat-trick saw them through the semi-final tie by a 4-0 margin A fuller report and Team Sheet can be found IN the "FIXTURES AND RESULTS" Section of the website The final will be held on Sunday March 7th (2.30pm kick off) at a venue as yet unknown and their opponents will be either Manford Way or Redbridge Youth This was the icing on the cake for what was a fine Sunday as the Youth teams returned to action after their long Christmas and weather induced lay-off for the Under 17s and the Under 14s both won their Cheshunt Youth League matches by 10-2 and 4-2 respectively against Puma 2000 and Panathinaikos
Nov 21, 2009, 11:17 am Oxhey Jets U18's 2 - 4 Haringey Borough U18's Haringey Borough Under 18’s made it six league wins in a row on Wednesday night with 4 - 2 win over Oxhey Jets. Kick off was delayed as Borough’s journey was something of a nightmare. Problems with rail services meant that the Borough youngsters only arrived at Boundary Stadium when the game was scheduled to kick off. Haringey started brightly but fell behind after 5 mins to a good finish from an incisive break, against the run of play. However Borough responded well, passing the ball well and dominating possession on the beautiful surface. The equalizer soon came when good work from Jorge Gonzalez and Yasser Tazi down the right hand side culminated in a pull back for Ruaridh ‘Goal machine’ Kay, thriving in his new mid-field role, to power home his fifth in three matches. The second followed soon after, again from the right hand side, after a fantastic dribble, Tazi picked out Greg Moorse MacDougall at the near post, who finished well to put Borough in front. Oxhey came into the game in the second half and scored a good quality goal to level the match frustrating the Haringey U18’s who were punished for not having put the game to bed with their domination in the 1st half. Borough introduced Jesse Courtey and debutant Luke in the second half and began to take the game to Oxhey. Haringey took the lead again, this time through Tazi who coolly passed the ball in with the outside of his right foot after another fantastic, mazy dribble into the box. 5mins from time Tazi bagged his second of the night and Boroughs fourth. Another very composed finish from a clever pass from Luke finally killed the game and capped a good night for the Under 18’s and a tremendous performance for Yasser Tazi. Ashley Gabriel played the full 90minutes on his debut for the Borough and gave excellent, assured performance. Nov 16, 2009, 2:19 pm Haringey Borough U18's 4 - 1 Hitchin Town U18's Ruaridh Kay made it four goals in two games with his second succussive brace as the Borough U18's cruised to victory in the second round of the Colwyn cup. A very impressive first half dispalay saw them take a 2-0 lead within the first 10 minutes with two excellent finishes from Kay. Borough continued to dominate and the move of the match came on 35 mins, some excellent passing from defence to attack saw Jesse Courtney and Yasser Tazi combine well on the edge of the box for Jesse to coolly slot the ball past the keeper and make it 3-0. Michael Gennaris scored his second in as many games, and Borough's fourth on the night, from a corner to effectively end the game as a contest. Haringey took their foot off the gas in the second half and Hitchin Town scored a consolation penalty to make it 4-1, however Borough's lead never looked threatened as Haringey, last years finalists, cruised into the next round.

A DISAPPOINTING END
Although enjoying the greater share of posession and making the greater number of chances in their Colwyn Cup Final against Waltham Abbey at their opponents Capershotts ground on May 11th the Under 18s were on the back foot after conceding an unfortunate "own-goal" in the first ten seconds. But it was not until a few minutes from time that the Abbey clinched their victory with a second goal when a corner was powerfuly headed home. Apr 27, 2009, 11:12 pm
Borough U18s Produce Ultimate Performance to Outplay Stevenage Borough Haringey Borough only made one change from the side that played Cray Wanderers last week, bringing back keeper McCarthy following injury. Stevenage Borough from the Conference Premier were Borough's opponents in this Colwyn Cup semi final. Haringey produced an outstanding performance to deservedly win the match 2-1, with goals coming from Glaude and Roche. Borough put on a slick passing display at Coles Park, where the pitch was slightly wet, allowing borough to play a quick passing game with high quality and a quick tempo. Throughout the match Boro dominated all areas of the pitch and can take great satisfaction that if anything they looked a class above their illustrious opponents. It was a very satisfying night for management duo Hudson and Corbyn as the potential they knew this group of players had finally shone through for all to see. Borough took the lead in the first half after playing great attractive football and controlling the tempo of the game. Stevenage equalised with 20 minutes to go when a ball was played to an unmarked forward at the back post who headed home. Borough should have been a couple of goals clear at this point, but they didn't let their heads drop, and went on to win in the 90th minute when Michael Roche lobbed the goalie for a well deserved, but dramatic win! It wouldn't be fair to pick out any individuals from such a brilliant team effort and Borough are now looking forward to a final against Waltham Abbey. Manager Rakatahr Hudson said after the game "Ben and I knew the boys were capable of such a performance, but with the season nearly over we felt we may never get the chance to see it, as it was a case of tonight or never. Fortunately everything fell into place and the group showed how talented they are and also how willing they are to work hard and fight to the end. What is even more pleasing is that we played great football from the first minute and dominated the key areas on the pitch. The boys showed they are good enough to be playing at a higher level and hopefully they will get oppertunties to push on and further their careers. I am extremely proud of the whole squad and we now look forward to playing Waltham Abbey in the cup final." Apr 22, 2009, 11:11 pm
Borough Bow Out In Great Game For The Neutral! This semi-final was contested between two exciting teams who were excellent going forward, as the scoreline suggested. Borough started the brighter and deservedly took the lead through Daniel Glaude. However an injury to centerback Phinn-Archer did not help Haringey as they had to reshuffle the team which including dropping captain Angel into defence. The rest of the half was evenly contested, the difference being Boro missing their chances where Cray converted. Wanderers had a 2-1 lead at half-time and made it 4-2 at the start of the second half. Borough then hit back with a goal from Michael Hand. The game then continued to form with Cray going 5-2 up before Aaron Clarke volleyed in for 5-3. This is how it finished in what was an enjoyable game played in good spirit by two passing sides full of pace and attacking flair. If more youth teams played in this style and spirit English football would be a better place. Apr 9, 2009, 10:03 pm
Proof That The Best Team Doesn't Always Win Haringey Borough faced Harpenden in a first versus second final league game championship decider on a unfootball-freindly Rothamsted Park pitch. Although Borough dominated for virtually the whole match and deserved to win comfortably, Harpenden Town somehow managed to score two goals from two of their few attacks, whist Boro contrived to miss a host of chances. Whilst Boro looked to play good passing football as they have done all season, Harpenden used the very grass-roots-English tactic of long ball. However whereas a flat grassy surface would suit Haringeys u18s in the way they like to play, the bumpy and duaty surface on offer acted as more of a leveller and suited Harpenend players and tactics. Despite this Boro played the majority of the game in Harpendens half and domintaed preceedings. Chances were missed, specifically from many of the corners that Haringey won. Throughout the second half Harpenden used the time-wasting tactic, and along with many subistutions, injuries and stopages, only a minimal amount of time was added at the end, leaving Boro even more fustrated considering an equaliser looked like a when rather then an if. Harpenden will of course be delighted with the victory as it looks like it is enough for them to secure the title, but Boro, although bitterely dissapointed, can hold their heads high for they were no doubt the best side on the day, and Waltham Abbey will be delighted to avoid them at the play-off stage.

Title To Be Decided In Final League Game Haringey Borough Under 18s have to go to the wire in the title challenge following their 1-0 home defeat to Hillingdon. Although Borough dominated the match they were unable to score and Hillingdon's only real attack resulted in the winning goal.
Borough recovered with 8 goals in the next two matches to setup a championship deciding match with Harpenden Town on Thursday August 9th at Rothampsted Park. Disappointingly, had Haringey managed to pick up the win their domination deserved against Hillingdon, they would have won the league on Monday following their 4-0 win over Wormley. However they will now face Harpenden in both clubs final league encounter, where victory will win the top prize, and a draw or defeat will kill the championship dream. Prior to the 4-0 victory against Wormley, Borough travelled to fellow championship contenders AFC Dunstable and came away with an impressive 4-2 victory. The goals came from Espana, Angel and a Baduri double. The four against Wormley were an OG, a Michael Hand header and two from Platini. The youth team are in good spirits and playing well, and look forward to playing in such an important game where they have the oppertunity to achieve what they have worked hard for all season.

Borough Youth Return To League Action With Vital Victory
Haringey Borough U18s returned to league action after a long enforced break due to both the weather and a number of successful cup runs. The visit to Hillingdon was a big chance for both teams to improve their championship chances as they sat just 1 point apart at the start of play.
The Hillingdon pitch was extremely bumpy and soft and not conducive for good football. Borough decided that longer and more direct tactics were needed compared to their usual passing game and this paid off as they took a 2 goal first half lead through an OG and a lovely move finished off by Michael Roche.
The second half was quite even, but some sloppy defending from a corner allowed Hillingdon a route back into the match. At 2-1 the tie was on edge however Haringey never looked in real trouble and should really have wrapped the tie up well before the end with good chances of their own.
The victory gives Borough a 4 point lead over Hillingdon with just 4 league games remaining. Next they travel to top of the table Harpenden who have a 2 point lead but have played 2 games more in a game that will go a long way to determining where the title ends up this year. Mar 6, 2009, 12:57 am
Borough Through To Another Semi But Lose Out On Penalties In The Brian Hitchings
Haringey
Borough's youth team traveled to Crayford in Kent to face VCD Athletic
in the Kent Cup Quarter Final on Thursday night. Borough had a depleted
squad with many players out through injury and illness following two
cup matches going to extra-time and penalties in the last 7 days. The match was played in good spirit by both sides and only ruined by an awful refereeing display that resulted in numerous cautions and a ridiculous red card for Vulaj at the start of the second half. The first half saw VCD take the lead, followed by a great penalty save by McCarthy to stop Athletic doubling their winning margin, and finally a late equaliser by Espana to make it 1-1 at half time. Borough played the majority of the second half with ten men, however they grew stronger and looked the more likely winner. This proved to be the case when 10-man Haringey hit the winning goal in added on time in extra-time when Hand raced through and clinically finished in the bottom left hand corner to set off wild scenes of celebration. Haringey will face either Dartford or Dover in the semi final in a few weeks time. It was however mixed fortunes as earlier in the week Borough drew 1-1 with Bury Town in the Brian Hitchings Cup 2nd round and lost 7-6 on penalties. However Borough have made two semi finals giving them a chance of making a cup final this season. Feb 27, 2009, 1:23 am
Borough Youth Scrape Through To Cup Semi Haringey Borough U18s have reached the semi-final of the Colwyn Cup after beating Cockfosters FC 6-5 on penalties on Thursday night. The final score was 1-1 after 90 minutes and so it remained after extra-time to take the tie to the dreaded penaltiy shoot-out. Michael Hand missed Borough's first penalty, but then 6 scored penalties in a row from Angel, Barzey, Phinn-Acher, Fontanini, Espana and Hayes ensured that Borough progressed to meet either Stevenage or Wormley in the semi-final. Michael Hand scored Haringey's goal minutes after Cockfoster took the lead in the second half. Substitute Barzey cut inside from the left onto his rigth foot and played a sweet ball into Hand's path, Hand then controlled well before lifting the ball into the net. Prior to Cockfoster's first goal McCarthy in the Boro goal made an outstanding penalty save to keep the scores level. The central defensive pairing for Haringey of Gennaris and Phinn-Archer were exceptional all night as Boro put in an extremely hard-working team performance to make up for the fact that they weren't at their free flowing best. Next week Borough U18s face Bury Town on Monday in the Brian Hitchings Cup, before travelling to VCD Athletic on Thursday in the John Ullmann Cup Quarter-Final. Feb 16, 2009, 1:04 pm
Michael Lends A Hand As Cheeky Goal
Wins Game for Under 18s
Borough U18s traveled all the way to the east coast to play Whistable
Town FC in the third round of the John Ullmann (Kent Youth League) Cup.
Haringey dominated proceedings but had to wait until 2nd half injury
time to hit the winner, the goal came from a goal mouth scramble
resulting in Michael Roche finding the back of the net with his cheek
to claim a well deserved win.The other goal came curtesy of a Michael Hand penalty following a trip by the keeper on the penalty taker. It was a good team display and although the victory came late only one side looked like winning. In the quarter final Haringey will travel to VCD Athletic. However the next game is due to be played at Coles park on Thursday against Dunstable Town in the league cup.

Cheshunt Youth League
The u13s find themselves mid-table after four wins, four defeats and no draws. However following a poor start to the season they have been on good form and look likely to continue to rise up the table. Top scorer Bunjamin Kamberi has 8 goals, whilst Ronald Ndombele and Michael McDonagh have hit three each. The u16s have had an excellent season to date, scoring freely and defending effectively. This has seen them rise to second in the league, hot on the tales of Rdgeway Rovers. Sabri Bokcio is the top scorer at the club with fifteen already this season and Khalil Sharif is not far behind with twelve. Amazingly the u16s havefour other players with six or more goals also. The u17s have been in good form but the results haven't shown the true story. Playing in the CYFL Premier Division, Boro have dominated games with impressive possession but have lacked the cutting edge that brings results. If this is coreected they are capable of going on a long winning run. As it stands we sit in a dissapointing fourth place. Billy Melton and Jesse Courtney have both hit six goals each.
Southern Counties Youth League
Our U18 side have had a largley good season to date. Having played eight games, only one has ended in defeat after the ninety minutes. The other defeat was in extra-time against Ashford Town (middx) in what was arguably one of the best performances of the last few years. Currently sitting top of the Nemean Division, we are in the middle of a title challenge that looks like it will go down to the wire with three or four teams still in the hunt. Michael Hand again leads the scoring charts with seven goals in eight games, and defender Chinua Phinn-Archer has also chipped in with a very good return of three goals of his own. Overall the team have been a credit and will look to improve on the solid foundations already put down. Oct 21, 2008, 1:27 pm
Mixed Weekend For Boro Youth
On Monday our u18s succumbed to their first league defeat of the season, going down 1-0 at home to AFC Dunstable. Although dominating throughout the match, missed opportunities at 0-0 proved costly. With AFC Dunstable taking the lead on the counter-attack in the first half the game become attack versus defense with Borough unable to put the ball in the back of the AFC Dunstable net. Haringey did go close with two shots from Angel, and Hand was whiskers away when rounding the keeper only to hit the post from a tight angle in the second half. Our U17s gained a credible 2-2 draw against LOASS with both goals coming from Joshua Barzey. The match was playd to a high technical level and both clubs showed good spirit and were a great advert for local youth football. Our U16s went out of the London Cup, losing 1-0 at Coles Park against Leyton Square. Meanwhile the U13s picked up their first win of the season beating Ryans FC 4-1 in the Cheshunt Youth League. Oct 19, 2008, 2:43 pm
U17s EARN HARD FOUGHT POINT
Haringey Borough's U17s entertained LOASS in a high tempo and high quality match. It was great advert for Cheshunt Youth League and local youth football in general, with both sides trying to play the right way. LOASS took the lead early on before Borough scored a deserved equaliser through a Josh Barzey penalty. The second half saw LOASS take the lead again, this time through a penalty of their own. Borough again fought back and scored the goal of the game when Yasser showed great skill and ability to travel down the right wing and sweep a cross to the far post for Barzey to volley home his second of the match. The match report is up on the fixtures and results page. The U17s continue their London Cup campaign next week when they travel to Croyden Athletic. We are currently running a poll on out homepage about how far the U17s can go in this years competition. Oct 12, 2008, 9:56 pm

YOUTH TEAM PUT IN STRONG DISPLAY
Last night (24th Sep) Borough won 3-2 against AFC Hayes with goals from Angel, Phinn-Archer and Gonzalez. Haringey were 3-0 up at half-time and only conceded the 2 consolation goals in second half injury time. Although a disappointing end to the game for the home side, Borough will be delighted with their overall performance and the win which gives them 7 points from their opening 3 league games. Full match report can be found through the link on the FIXTURES & RESULTS page.

YOUTH TEAM CLAIM IMPORTANT VICTORY
Last night (17th Sep) Borough overcame title rivals Kentish Town 2-1 at the
Copthall Stadium with first half goals from
Hand and
Phinn-Archer. Town pulled
one back early in the second half through left winger
Gonzalez but it wasn’t
enough as Haringey defended strongly to see out the game and leave with the 3
points. It was a tense and tight encounter played in good spirit, where both sides can be proud of their contribution and effort as they were a credit to their clubs. The return match promises to be another good battle. Full match report can be found through the link on the FIXTURES & RESULTS page. Borough continue there SCFYL campaign with a home match against AFC Hayes this Wednesday 24th September: 7.45pm KO at Coles Park Jul 13, 2008, 10:08 pm Our youth teams have now started pre-season. Notably our new U17s side, ran by Ben Corbyn, are an exciting and talented team of players which should challenge for honours this season. It is also a great benefit for our U18 side who will no doubt take advantage of the additional talent coming through to supplement thier Southern Counties team.

this week with excellent an enthralling victories over
The squad will remain together next season as under18s in the Southern Counties League. They have spent the last 2 years honing their skills and next season looks to be an exciting one as they reach the climax of their youth careers.
The group has been besieged by injuries over the past 8 months, with as many as 6 or 7 first team players missing on a regular basis due to injury and illness. However the strength and determination of the group has shone through in performances, none more so then in the last week.
With the off season giving players a chance to rest up following a crazy run of 4 games a week over the past fortnight, and long-term injuries the time to rehabilitate; it is expected that the squad will start next season in the best shape it has ever been in.
For excitement they are certainly a team to watch and well worth a visit to Coles Park for entertainment value alone, let alone the opportunity to watch some extremely talented young players with the ability to go far in the game. Mar 2, 2008, 4:17 pm

Feb 9, 2008, 1:20 pm London Cup Semi Final (U17) New North Rangers 1 v 1 Haringey Borough (Borough win 4-2 on pens)
Haringey started the game with 10 men due to injury, illness and lateness. However the match referee ensured that Borough went on to play the entire match with just 10 men as he enforced a law that does not exist. Sonny Chapman, who turned up minutes after Kick Off, should have been allowed on as Haringey's eleventh man. However referee Ifill was head strong in his view that anyone turning up late could not participate, even though this rule only applies to substitutes and not starters.
This major mistake by Ifill obviously had a major effect on the match, with 10 men Borough having to work twice as hard just to compete. Borough did just that and managed to get into half-time relatively unscathed. In fact it was one of the only times New North Rangers managed to take advantage of the extra man when early in the second half they took the lead following good work down the left hand side. Other than this goal the teams were very even, and as the game wore on Borough started to create chances for an equalizer.
Eventually the equalizer came when Rangers were penalized for a back pass with 5 minutes of the match remaining. Angel rolled the ball for the clinical Michael Hand who took his goal tally to 11 for the season with an emphatic shot from 15 yards into the top right hand corner of the net; what a goal.
During extra-time the decision to make Haringey play with 10 men for the entire game was really starting to show as the extra work done by the heroic Borough players had caused some to suffer from muscle cramps, none more so then Espana who was a virtual passenger for the 30 minute extra-time period. However the remaining 9 plus Espana were amazingly far superior in the extra-time period and should have wrapped the game up. But they didn't, and it took a brilliant save from man of the match Mccarthy to take the game to penalties.
Fontanini took first for Borough and saw his shot saved, Rangers followed up by netting to go 1-0 up. Hand then stepped up and placed into the top right of the goal. Then step forward hero Mccarthy, who made great saves from the next two. Sandwiched between was a well struck penalty from Hayes. This turned the penalty shoot out on its head as Borough were now in the lead. New North then scored, meaning that if Angel could hit the net then Borough were through to the final, and captain Angel did just that, sending the keeper the wrong way, leaving jubilant scenes as Borough overcame playing with 10 men to win the game.
Overall an outstanding performance from the whole Borough team and a much deserved victory against the odds. Manager Hudson said afterwards "It was a shame that we had to play with 10 men as this effectively ruined the cup-tie. However the boys were fantastic and fully deserved to go through. I would like to think we would recieve an apology from the referee, but this rarely happens and from the attitude mr Ifill showed from the moment he arrived at the ground he doesn't seem like the type who could admit to a mistake. We have sent in a report as I couldn't let the matter lie. But in end it gave me the chance to test our groups character and resolve and we have come out showing what we are made of. Its fantastict get through to the final and all 10 deserve a lot of credit." Jan 27, 2008, 6:35 pm
On Sunday 27th January all of the Haringey Borough youth teams won except for the U17s who lost for just the second time this season, 3-0 away at Charville. They are bitterly disappointed to ruin the clean sweep, especially as they took a strong squad that included 2 impressive debutants; one of which was goalkeeper Damien Mccarthy who showed that he will prove to be an invaluable asset over the coming weeks and months.
In the Cheshunt Youth League the U16s won 6-2 at home to Barnet Youth while the U15s came back from

Jan 14, 2008, 1:04 pm
This week has seen 3 new players sign Harrow Youth League forms for Haringey Borough U17s. These players will also be involved in the Southern Counties League Team over the next few weeks.
Damien McCarthy is a tall goalkeeper that the management team have been tracking for some time. The squad has needed a GK and the signing of Damien will give the team a massive boost.
Also signed is Shpresim Vulaj who can play in midfield or attack. He is a talented player who has recently had extensive trials at a high profile professional football club.
The third signing is Said Omar who had already signed for the U18s in 2007, although postponements have delayed his debut. Said is a strong central defender who will add competition and depth to the U17 squad as they prepare to battle for the League, League Cup and London Cup over the next few months.
On Sunday the Under 13s continued their good form by winning 6-1 in the league against Parkfield. Manager Sean Daly is excited by the squad he has assembled and is looking to challenge at the top end of the table. Daly is however looking for a good quality goalkeeper to add to his squad.
Nov 9, 2007, 9:19 pm Our youth teams have seen their form improve over the last few weeks and this was most evidently shown by the under 14s who beat Actual Soccer just weeks after losing to them in their first league game of the season.
On Thursday 8th November the under 18s gained a credible 3-3 draw at Cockfosters, where 3 new players were in the squad to strengthen vital areas. Goals have come from all over the park, but the most notable contributions have been from Hayes (9 in total), Smee (8 in total) and Hand (also 8 goals).
The only player to represent the club in every u17 and u18 fixture so far is fittingly captain Gustavo Angel, who is currently filling in at center back to great effect.
The U16 GK has recently stepped up to train with the U17/18 squad and it is expected that more will follow into next season. This continuity throughout the club should provide a long-term flow of young players breaking into the first team.
Since new first team manager Allan Fenn has taken over the only actual u18 in this season's u18 side, Courtneay Laidley, has stepped up to train with the first team. A very talented midfield player, Courtneay has been playing very well in the Southern County Floodlit Youth League and has a bright future ahead of him.
Julio Barnes, who had a brief spell with our U17s earlier in the season, has been signed by

(as at 27th September 2007)
Sep 24, 2007, 11:07 am Haringey Borough's youth teams had a successful Sunday with the U15s getting their first league point, the under 14s winning their first game of the season and the U17s staying top of the U17s Premier Division with a convincing 7-1 win at Chase Lodge.
The under 15s drew 2-2 at Brimsdown with goals coming from Kasim Sinclair and Volkan Gurur.
The under 14s won 4-2 although their inexperience meant that there superiority wasn't truly reflected in the score-line, as it could have been a lot more comfortable. However they will be more then happy to chalk up the win which puts them on a respectable 3 points from 2 league games. Goal-scorers were striker Jay Warby with 2, Yota Kitade with a magnificent long range effort and one from Ben Norman to top off a brilliant display.
The under 17s continued there impressive Harrow Youth League form to make it 3 wins from 3 and in total, carrying on from last season, 21 games undefeated! The match report can be found via the fixture and results page.
Making his debut in the 7-1 win was Julio Barnes (pictured), an excellent central defender who slotted in straight away. He will be a good acquisition in the teams pursuit of back to back Championships.

The under 17s start with a home game at Chase Lodge on Sunday 9
th September against North Greenford United (who are a combination of last seasons North Greenford ‘A' and ‘B' sides). On the same day the Under 14s also start their league campaign, away to Actual Soccer. The Under 13s will have a longer wait before their competitive season starts, however they have a number of friendlies lined up over the coming weeks.
Aug 22, 2007, 10:06 pm The Southern Counites Floodlit Youth League fixtures have now been announced and Haringey start with home games against Cockfosters and Borehamwood. Sandwiched between the two is the small matter of an FA Youth Cup tie against Leyton on Wednesday September 12 th. The squad is starting to shape up with the majority of last seasons successful U16 team coming through, with a few quality additions giving the squad strength in depth and competition for places.
Friendlies with
Manager Rakatahr Hudson is in positive mood with the season just weeks away "I feel that we have assembled a strong squad and although the majority will be playing up an age group we will reap the benefits next season. However, saying this I still feel we have the quality throughout the side to do well this season and cause some upsets. When everyone is available and fit I will have major selection dilemmas, however as a manager there is no better position to be in. The boys have all worked hard during pre-season and if we can continue to progress at a steady rate over the next couple of weeks I feel we will be more then ready for the challenge ahead."
More to follow soon, but now on to the younger sides.
The new U13s will face the new U14s this Sunday in what will be their first pre-season friendlies. Both sides have promising squads and are looking forward to playing together for the first time.
Their seasons start in early September and provision league constitutions have been announced, when these are finalised they will be announced here. Full details of playing squads etc will also be announced here closer to the season start. Jul 31, 2007, 10:19 pm Haringey Borough won the Puma Under 16s 6-a-side Tournament on Sunday beeting Clapton and Puma Fc along the way. After squeezing through the group stages Haringey upped their game and hit top form throughout the knock out rounds.
The u13s & 14s didn't fair so well, although both can be proud of their performances.
More to follow soon...

Jul 22, 2007, 7:30 pm Haringey Borough U17s kicked off their pre-season campaign with an excellent performance against Hanwell Town. Borough at one point lead 3-0 following some great passing football, with one move in particular that lead to a goal consisting of over 20 passes. However following some changes to the side and an introduction of 6 trialists the game became disjointed and Hanwell Town managed to pull 2 goals back to make the game look a lot closer then it actually was.
Boroughs first goal was scored by Courtneay Laidley who burst through from midfield and struck the ball past the helpless keeper.
Some excellent performances, especially from debutants Gyasi Brooks (JC) and Danny Slewin. Captain Gustavo Angel lead from center back with an impeccable game, the only blemish being a slip which allowed Hanwell to score their first goal. Midfielders Espana and Laidley dominated the game along with JC with the attackers Smee, Smith and Hayes causing Hanwell Town major problems defensively. Stelio Christodoulou was again solid at full back and when later moved into midfield showed why it is his natural position. The defense was organised with great covering and communication from new boy Slewin, whilst Bonket produced a brilliant display at center half. Gaglani was solid all game and will feel hard done by not keeping a cleansheet!
The team will now look to continue thier pre-season with training on Friday, a small sided tournament on Sunday and then back to a pre season regime of friendlies and training throughout August, ready for the big kick off in September.

On Sunday Louis Dainty and Tony Strina took their budding under 13 side to the annual Omonia Youth 6aside tournament.
In what were their first ever competitive matches after completion of the trials, Haringey showed bundles of potential.
To qualify for the semi final Boro had to finish in the top 2 of a 6 team group that contained the likes of Omonia and Edmonton. Not only did Haringey qualify, but they won the group convincingly with a record of 3 wins and 2 draws.
After some outstanding team and individual displays another Omonia side, from the other group, finally beat the Boro 2-0 to progress to the final.
This however was a very encouraging day where the new youth side reached the last 4 of a strong competition and showed that they have a very promising future.
