BARNET SUNDAY LEAGUE CUP DRAWS FOR SEASON 2024-2025  - UPDATED 12.2.25

We are now through to the Semi-Finals of the League JUNIOR CUP following our 4-3 win in the Quarter-Finals at Home to Division Three side Whetstone on Sunday 2nd February. The League Junior Cup is a knockout competition for teams in Divisions 3 & 4 only, so this is our best chance of reaching a Final, which will be against either Camden Lock or Nissi Firsts. Our Semi-Final opponents will be either Karakocan or NLR, both of whom are in Division Three. Karakocan are bottom of the table in that Division while NLR (who we have played several times before) are currently challenging for the title and will be the favourites to get through when they finally play their Quarter-Final, which keeps getting delayed because they are still involved in the London FA Sunday Junior Cup which takes precedence. According to the League rules, Cup Semi-Finals are played at neutral venues, but we have been drawn as the Away team and NLR (if they get through) play on a 3G pitch inside the New River Stadium in Wood Green with their matches kicking-off at 12.30 p.m….which might suit us anyway instead of a badly churned-up grass pitch somewhere. League Cup Finals are generally played in late-April or early-May at Potters Bar Town FC with three Finals taking place in one day, kicking-off at 10.30 am, 1.30 pm and 4.00 pm. Potters Bar Town FC’s pitch is currently being converted to 3G though, so the Finals may be played at another venue this season if that work is not completed in time.

We are also still involved in the JOHN MOTSON JUNIOR CHALLENGE CUP, which is for all teams from Division One downwards. We were given a Bye in the First Round, and in the Second Round we will be at Home to either NTwentyOne (who are top of Division Six) or Camden Lock (from our Division). Those two teams are due to be playing their First Round match this Sunday (16th February) and it is likely we will play the winners the following Sunday (23rd February). If we get through to the Third Round, we will then be at Home to Botafogo, who are a newly-formed team in Division Six.

We are also going to be entering the Barnet Sunday League’s INVITATIONAL CUP, which is now a competition for selected teams from Divisions 3, 4, 5 & 6 who do not have a backlog of fixtures. This competition will be drawn as per this season’s Champions League where ‘x amount’ of random group games are played for an overall League table and the top eight teams then play knockout Quarter-Finals and Semi-Finals to reach the Final. We are still awaiting the draw for this competition, which means we do not have a fixture arranged for Sunday 16th February.

We are now out of the RICHARD MARTIN MEMORIAL CUP having failed to match or better Nissi First’s 8-0 win against Camden Union in their Group A match which was played before we drew 4-4 with them. Had North West Wolves not dropped out of the group without playing a match, we probably would have won the group and progressed through to the knockout stages. The Richard Martin Memorial Cup was a competition for teams in Divisions 3 & 4 played on a Group basis of three matches initially before the winners of each group go into an eight-team knockout stage including teams from the Championship Division and Division Six.

We were knocked out of the ROGER JONES SENIOR CHALLENGE CUP (which is a competition for all teams in the League…and the most prestigious Cup) back in October after losing 3-2 to high-flying Division One side Real Menza in the Third Round.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

We are currently looking for sponsorship for a number of our expenses this season including Pitch Fees, Match Balls, Referees Fees, Affiliation Fees and the hosting of this long-running website. This should appeal to local small or medium-sized companies due to our increasing presence on You Tube and the potential for our young squad of 19-year-olds to win many trophies over the next few seasons.

We also need sponsorship for a new green & black Home kit and new rain jackets. Those will be major sponsorships that will last for a three-year period.

We have appointed one of those 19-year-olds, Max Francis to be our Sponsorship Manager and his contact details and all the information regarding these sponsorship opportunities can be found in the following downloadable PDF’s.

  

CROWDFUNDING SPONSORSHIP

As our players will all be over the age of 18 this coming season, they will now be expected to pay to play. We will be charging them a £25.00 signing-on fee and then £5.00 per match.

However, that will still not be enough to fund the club’s expenditure this season without sponsorship & fund-raising, so if friends, relatives and supporters are willing to continue donating to our GoFundMe campaign to boost the club’s funds, that would be much appreciated.

This will then enable the club to continue filming, editing & producing our match highlights for You Tube as we have been doing for the past 16 years.
The link to our GoFundMe campaign where you can contribute with an online payment is https://gofund.me/b6a18645 or you can scan the QR code to take you to the donation page.
