Tonight, Wednesday 12th March, the
Allied Counties Under 18s side attempt to win the Jeff Ritson
Middlesex Youth Cup for the first time as they take on
Hillingdon Borough in the Final. The game takes place at North
Greenford United FC with kick-off set for 7.30p.m.
The youngsters are enjoying an
excellent season, currently sitting in second place behind Hayes
& Yeading in the Premier Division table and also through to the
quarter-finals of the League Cup.
In the Jeff Ritson, which is for
senior sides who field a youth team, the Woods started with a
2-0 victory over Wealdstone and have followed that with a
comprehensive 6-1 success at Uxbridge at the quarter-final stage
and then a 4-1 defeat of Edgware Town in the last four.
The management team of Jez Reilly
and Phil Hatcher have got the side playing some excellent
football and all Northwood fans are encouraged to make the short
trip to cheer on the side.
Hillingdon Borough won 3-1 at
holders North Greenford United in the opening round but were
then given a bye in the quarter-finals after Hendon pulled out.
A semi-final against Harefield United ended in a 2-2 draw and it
was Hillingdon who went through after a penalty shoot-out.
The Borough sit in third place in
their East Division Allied Counties table and have also run into
some good form lately.
It is ten years since a Northwood
Under 18 side won a County Cup competition, when Geoff Foster's
team took the Sunday version by beating Sudbury Court 4-2with
Richard Morton scoring a hat-trick.
The full Northwood squad (pictured
above) for the final is as follows:
Luke Aldridge, Jack Bennett, Daniel
Billington, Courtney Francis, Tyrone Frederick, Elliot Gibbs,
Nick Glenday (Captain), Edward Hatcher, Sam Holland, Will
Hudson, Aiden Lynam, Frank Lynam, Chris Michael, Jake O'Meara,
Daniel Power, Scott Purdue, Troy Roach, Aryan Tajbakhsh, Jamie
Tompkins, Ollie Wright.
Everyone at the club wishes the
side the very best of luck.
