League Trophy Competitions - Season 2022-23

As previously advised, the League Management Committee has now fully discussed the remaining number of matches that each team has to play this season.

As a result, it has been decided that, subject to future favourable weather conditions, League Trophy competitions will be introduced at this stage for certain age-groups and certain teams.
• Matches will start as from Sunday 12th March 2023.
• It is the current intention that all group-stage fixtures are completed and finalised by end-April.
• The Quarter-Finals (Q/F) matches will be played on Sunday 7th May;
Semi-Finals (S/F) matches on either Sunday 7th May (for those matches going directly to a semi-final) and Sunday 14th May (for those matches with a quarter final game on the 7th May); and
Finals on Sunday 21st May
(all dates to be confirmed).

The League’s objective is to maximise football for all teams, and we believe and trust that the introduction of the above competitions will be welcomed by member clubs.

The Committee has considered each age-group separately and then considered each team within that age-group. Not all teams in each age-group have been sanctioned to enter. This is based on the number of League and other games that each team has still to complete and the number of free weeks (and club pitch availability) left in the season. This is the final decision and cannot be appealed as entry is by invitation only.

The fully sanctioned draw is here.

The terms and conditions of playing are as set by the Management Committee, in accordance with Rules.
In summary:
• Each team will play the other in their ‘Group’ once only (home or away at the discretion of the League Fixture Secretary) – with progression (as noted on the draw sheets) to the next knock-out QF/SF rounds.
• Each Group match will be played as a normal league fixture with ‘no’ extra time or penalties if the score is level at the end of normal time.
• The knock-out QF/SF rounds will be played and penalties, where necessary, will decide the winners (if the score is level at the end of normal time); there is no extra time in these QF/SF games.

ALL League/Cup rules of the League shall apply:
• Referee fees for each match are to be paid by the home team.
• When submitting the on-line match result form please select ‘Challenge Trophy’ for the competition being played in.

If weather conditions deteriorate in the coming weeks then, under Rules, the Management Committee reserve the right to cancel any of the competition age-groups or to withdraw any team or teams from the competition at its discretion. This decision, if taken, will be final and binding. League matches will always take precedence in this decision process.

If you have any questions, please email me.

News Update - Summer 2021

To all Member Clubs.

We hope that you are all keeping safe and well; and also all of those in your club and footballing community.

Application and Details Forms

The Harrow Youth Football League (‘HYFL’) (Under 12 to Under 18 age groups) and the Harrow Soccer Combination (‘HSC’) (under 7 to Under 11 age groups) have released the club application and details forms forms for season 2021-2022; which are now available to download and complete from the HYFL Guides and HSC Guides tabs herein. The deadline for receipt of such forms is Friday 10th September.

Player Registrations

We currently plan to open up and make available the HYFL/HSC ‘player registration system’ as soon as the above forms are received from each club; which we will then do so in batches. We will advise each club as soon as they can register their players on the HYFL/HSC system; along with the current Player Registration Guide for season 2021-2022.

Fixture Programme - HYFL

It is our current intention for the HYFL fixture programme to kick-off (for all teams in all age groups) on Sunday 3rd October (subject, of course, to any implications consequent from Covid). Matches will run from Sunday 3rd October 2021 to Sunday 19th December 2021, and then from Sunday 9th January 2022 to end-May 2022 (excluding 17th April which is Easter), depending on the completion of the fixture programme and any Covid implications.

Fixture Programme - HSC

It is our current intention for the HSC fixture programme to kick-off (for all teams in all age groups) on Sunday 10th October (subject, of course, to any implications consequent from Covid). Matches will run from Sunday 10th October 2021 to Sunday 19th December 2021 (Phase I – 11 weeks), and then from Sunday 9th January 2022 to Sunday 27th March 2022 (Phase II – 12 weeks).

County FA affiliation

Can all clubs please ensure that each and all of your teams are affiliated with the County FA (for most clubs this will be Middlesex FA) as soon as possible; and also entered into any County cups (U/12 to U/18) that you wish them to play in (noting the deadline dates set by the County if you wish to enter). Please do liaise with the County FA directly if you have any issues in that regard.

Thank you
HYFL/HSC Management Committees

Supplementary Matches - U16 & U18

The League has (for all age groups Under 12 to Under 18 inclusive) reviewed the number of League games each team has played to date and the number of available weeks until the extended final end of season – Sunday 27 June.

As previously communicated, we are committed to provide/facilitate football so players can participate in grassroots football (for their health and mental well-being) and to catch up on some of the lost weeks due the Covid-19- lockdowns.

It is on the basis that we are able to arrange some additional matches in certain age groups - being Under 16 (except division one teams) and Under 18.

All other age-groups will have a near-full League fixture programme to participate in.
The groups for these additional matches are set out below.

Each team will play each other just once (home or away) and the League will set these fixtures in the period Sunday 16 May to Sunday 27 June.

As we said, this is solely to provide additional competitive matches for these teams; this is not a competition in of itself, just extra games to make up for lost time.

All conditions apply to these matches as though they were League games.

Thank you
HYFL Management Committee - 5 May 2021

Competition Suspension - January 2021

We have just been advised that, following this evening’s Government announcement as to a full lockdown across England - Grassroots football (Under 7 to Under 18) is ‘suspended’ as from today until further notice.

As a result, the HYFL/HSC programme of fixtures are now also duly suspended.

We will provide further details as to a re-commencement date as soon as this becomes clearer from the Government; but it is unlikely to be before early March.

Please keep safe; and we wish you and the entire footballing community the very best in these challenging times.

Regards
Andy Lowe (Chairman)
4 January 2021
