BARNET SUNDAY LEAGUE CUP DRAWS FOR SEASON 2024-2025 - UPDATED 22.1.25 |
||
Following our 4-1 win Away to London Orient on Sunday 24th November in the First Round of the League JUNIOR CUP…which is a knockout competition for teams in Divisions 3 & 4 only…we are now through to the Quarter-Finals as there are only 16 teams in the competition. We will now be at Home to Whetstone (a mid-table side in Division 3) on Sunday 2nd February after they beat AC Finchley (from our Division) 4-2 in their First Round match played on the 1st December. We are already out of the ROGER JONES SENIOR CHALLENGE CUP (which is a competition for all teams in the League…and the most prestigious Cup which you can see pictured right) after losing 3-2 to high-flying Division One side Real Menza in the Third Round on Sunday 13th October. We have now been entered into the JOHN MOTSON JUNIOR CHALLENGE CUP, which is for all teams from Division One downwards. We have been 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). That game is likely to take place on Sunday 16th February…when we don’t have our pitch available, so it will most likely be a 12.30 pm Kick-Off on Pitch Two at Enfield Playing Fields. If we get through to the Third Round, we will then be at Home to Botafogo, who are another newly-formed team in Division Six. As there are only seven teams in our Division due to teams dropping out, we are also now playing in the RICHARD MARTIN MEMORIAL CUP, which is for teams in Divisions 3 & 4 and will be played on a Group basis of three matches initially, therefore making up for the missing League fixtures. We have been drawn in Group A where our opponents are Nissi’s First Team and Camden Union, both from Division Three. North West Wolves from our Division were also in the Group but they have now withdrawn from the League without playing a match in this competition, so we are now only playing two Group matches instead of three. The first of our two Group fixtures was played on the 22nd December when we drew 4-4 with Nissi 1sts, but as they beat Camden Union 8-0 the week before that, it means that to win the Group we now have to beat Camden Union 9-0 when we play them on Sunday 9th February in a match that has already been postponed twice because of the weather. The winners of the Groups will go into a knockout phase involving teams from the Championship Division and Division One (as those two divisions are also short of teams this season). We have also been entered into the Barnet Sunday League’s INVITATIONAL (Knockout) CUP, which is for all teams (in all 8 divisions) who did not enter County Cup competitions this season…in our case because our players didn’t want to travel South of the River !…plus teams who get knocked out in the First Round of the County Cup that they enter. We are still awaiting the draw for this competition. |

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. |
