Primary 5-a-sides
On a day when all games on grass were again called off, this time due to waterlogged pitches, it was time for our annual Maccabi GB Primary Football League indoor 5 a side tournament, this year firstly for the Under 11 age group, followed by the Under 15s.
This tournament, dedicated annually in memory of Dennis Shore, a Maccabi GB stalwart, took place the the Harrow Leisure Centre where the Under 11s played on a two league basis with 10 teams with the top two of each league playing in the semi finals.
With 80 players present and a fantastic attendance from parents and supporters the semi finals were keenly contested and the results were:
SEMI FINAL
Hendon Hawks 1 - HISHU White 4
HMH Green A 1 - HMH Blue A 0
FINAL
HISHU White 2 V HMH Green A 0
Congratulations to HISHU White and winners and runners up were all awarded medals.
Then at 5.30pm, we started our very first evening session, for the Under 15s where this was played on a round robin basis, each team playing eachother once and with 6 teams entered it was to be the top 2 teams who would contest a final. There was some excellent football played and delighted we had almost 50 players with some good vocal support from the viewing gallery. By 8pm we had our 2 finalists with the final score HISHU White 5 V Hendon Hawks A 0
Congratulations go to Hendon Interschools Hendon United (HISHU), for being worthy winners of both the U11 and U15 age groups, and we move on to next week to the Under 13s indoor 5 a sides. My thanks, as always, go to my Committee, score takers and referees.
