THE SUNDAY LEAGUE TEAM WHO HAVE BEEN
PROFESSIONALLY FILMING ALL THEIR MATCHES SINCE 1990 !

GO FUND ME

One of the intentions of the 50th Anniversary Dinner that we held on Friday 18th September was for it to raise money to fund the Current Team, as they are all 21-year-olds who have mostly just graduated from University and have not yet found employment.

We had budgeted to sell 200 tickets (at £55.00 each) to current & former players and their guests, but we were only able to sell less than half of that number as numerous players & guests were unable to attend the event due to holidays, family commitments or the added cost of travelling to the venue when they now live abroad or in other parts of the UK, then having to pay for overnight accommodation that would have been required afterwards.

Consequently, one of our organising Committee members is now owed money and the Current Team will have to recoup that money by paying increased 'subs' for playing in matches this season unless we can find sponsorship from companies or individuals.

Many of our former players told us they were 'gutted' at not being able to attend and contribute in some way towards ensuring the club's future, so this GoFundMe campaign therefore now allows them (and any other individuals with an interest in the club) to donate anything from £5.00 up to the £55.00 cost of what we charged for a ticket for the event.

Every little bit will help in keeping our great club going for maybe another 50 years.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR SEASON 2026-2027

FOR FULL DETAILS OF OUR SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Although the 50th Anniversary Dinner was a big success in terms of being enjoyable for those who were present, we had budgeted for 200 tickets to be sold but we fell well short of that as a number of Ex-Club Members, Current Club Members & Guests were unable to attend.
We did sell five tickets to people who either dropped out beforehand or didn’t turn up on the night, but we cannot give refunds for those. We gratefully received income from the event from donations, raffles and aforementioned sponsorships, but not enough to make a profit…which was one of the main aims of the evening so that we could fund the current team and keep the club going.

We therefore now have a number of sponsorship opportunities for the 2026-2027 Season

(which started on the 13th September just before this event was held), and these are all listed on THIS PDF.
Please help to keep our great club alive !

  BARNET SUNDAY LEAGUE CUP DRAWS FOR SEASON 2026-2027 - UPDATED

We are now through to the Second Round of this season’s Roger Jones Senior Challenge Cup (which is for all teams in the League) after our 3-0 win Away to fellow Division Two side Southgate Rovers in the First Round on Sunday 11th October. We will now be Away again in the Second Round, this time to Division Three side NLA Pantel, which is a fortunate draw as Premier & Championship Division teams now enter the competition at this stage due to so many teams dropping out of the League just before the season started. This Second Round match will be played this coming Sunday (18th October) at the Ashmole Academy.
If we win this match, we will then be Away (again !) In the Third Round to either Omonia Youth (from the Championship Division) or Ammos (from Division Three).
In the First Round of the John Motson Junior Challenge Cup (for all teams from the Championship Division downwards), we have been drawn Away to another Division Two side in AC Finchley, who we lost 2-0 to in the League on Sunday 27th September. A date has not yet been arranged for this Cup match. If we win that match when we play them, we will then be Away (again !) to either Burreli Camden (from our division) or Pantera, who are a Championship Division side.
Finally, in the League Junior Cup (which is for all teams in Divisions Two & Three), we have been drawn Away yet again ! This time it is to Radlett Town, another Division Two side, and that will be in the Second Round after both of us received a Bye in the First Round. No date has been arranged for that match yet, but if we win, we will then be Away (again !!) to either Enfield Albion or Burreli Camden in the Quarter-Finals.

LONDON F.A. SUNDAY JUNIOR CUP DRAW FOR SEASON 2026-2027

We are now OUT of the re-named David Wolff London Sunday Junior Cup without playing a match after we were forced to concede our First Round tie Away to Orpington & Bromley Sunday League Division Three side Beckenham Rovers Casuals. The decision had to be made late on the Saturday night before the match once it became clear that we only had 9 players willing to make themselves available to make the long journey, with a number of our registered players not saying anything in our WhatsApp poll and not answering private messages either.
Once again we have embarrassed ourselves in this competition as this is the third time in the last four seasons that we have done this after getting drawn to play Away to a team from South of the River, and we could well end up getting heavily fined.

NEW HOME GROUND FOR SEASON 2026-2027

Thanks to negotiations made by ‘our unofficial Vets team’ Whitewebbs Vets (who have several players registered with us for emergencies), our Home Pitch for Season 2026-2027 will be the HOLTWHITES SPORTS & SOCIAL CLUB, Kirkland Drive, Enfield EN2 0RN.

This is a private ground used by Herts Senior County League (Step 7) side Hinton for their Reserves and Under-23 teams on Saturdays, and unlike our Home ground last season at Enfield Playing Fields, it has changing rooms, showers, toilets, car parking near to the pitch and a clubhouse/bar for our use afterwards. In addition to that, the goalnets will already be up for us, so we will no longer have to bring and put up our own.

We have not had proper facilities like this since we were forced to leave the Edmonton Sports & Social Club back in 2023 when Norsemen expanded their Youth section there, so this new venue should help us attract good new players and keep our existing ones.

Due to cricket being the main sport played at Holtwhites, the football pitch will not be available over there until the 27th September and Whitewebbs Vets will be given preference to use it on that date as they have been using the venue for several years. (We will be sharing the pitch with them on alternate Sundays this season). At the moment, due to Away Cup draws, our first Home match at this new venue will not be until Sunday 25th October.

Unfortunately this is only a one-season agreement at the moment due to Womens football being given priority for Sundays at Holtwhites from Season 2027-2028 onwards, although that might change if our players use the bar as much as Whitewebbs Vets players do after their matches ! If not, we will have to hope that Enfield Council receive some funding to build new changing rooms & toilets at their venues within the next year or so when we are likely to have to return to using a Council pitch.

The Holtwhites Sports & Social Club is situated right next-door to Gordon Hill Station, which is on the Great Northern line between Stevenage & Moorgate. For those travelling from Hertford or Cuffley on a Sunday, trains arrive at Gordon Hill at 9.31 & 10.01 am (for a 10.30 am Kick-Off) and for those travelling from Moorgate, Highbury & Islington or Finsbury Park, trains arrive at 9.23, 9.53 & 10.23 am…depending how much of a Pre-Match warm-up you want !

On exiting the station, turn right into an alleyway at the end of the car park which leads into Kirkland Drive and the ground is at the end of the housing estate. It’s just a five-minute walk from the station exit to the club entrance.

If the trains are not running, the W9 bus (from Southgate Tube Station) stops right outside the ground in Holtwhites Hill and the W8 (from Edmonton Green or Enfield Town) stops outside Gordon Hill Station.

BARNET SUNDAY LEAGUE DIVISIONS FOR SEASON 2026-2027

The Barnet Sunday League have dropped one of their open-age divisions for this season due to numerous clubs either folding or moving to play in other Leagues.
That leaves only five divisions including Premier and Championship, so Division Two…which we are in…is now the fourth division down of the five. Thankfully there are 10 teams in our Division, but the other divisions only have 6, 7 or 8 teams in each due to teams dropping out already.

The ‘mass exodus’ appears to have been caused by two main reasons. Firstly there’s the increasing unavailability of pitches with adequate changing facilities for adult men’s teams in the Boroughs of Enfield, Barnet & Haringey, forcing teams to relocate to other areas (and other Leagues) in order to find a suitable pitch, then there’s the sudden popularity of local 5/6/7-a-side Leagues on Sunday afternoons & evenings as a result of big sponsorships, superb facilities and huge amounts of prize money on offer for winning teams. There is more about this in my latest Chairman’s Blog which reviews last season and the challenges we ourselves face in keeping players interested in playing 11-a-side on Sunday mornings.
