The youth section held a meeting last night to discuss which teams will be run next season. Boys teams will be run at under-21, under-18, under-16, under-15 and either under-14 or under-13 level. The girls teams currently under the umbrella of the womens team, will also now be a proper part of our youth set up and it is hoped to run sides at under-14, under-12 and under-11.
The under-21 team will continue to be managed by Eamon Finn and Graeme Bourne and will be playing in the Middlesex County League on Saturday afternoons. The under-18 team will be managed by our current under-16 managers Lewis Copeland and Marco Amaldi and will play on Sundays in the Harrow Youth League whilst the under-16s will be managed by current under-15 manager John Creith also in the Harrow Youth League.
The under-15s will be under new management. Current under-14 manager Ben Schiffer-Harte will be leaving the club at the end of the month due to an increase in his workload. We thank Ben for his efforts over the past two seasons. The under-15s will now be managed by Paul McGreal. Paul will be well known to Hendon supporters, having been a regular supporter for a number of years.
Whether we run an under-14 or under-13 side will very much depend on the numbers we get at the trials day in July. This team will be managed by another new manager to the club in the form of Leo Gerald. We would like to welcome Leo to the club and we hope that he has a long enjoyable time with us. Individual managers are yet to be confirmed for the girls teams.
