Headstone Manor Youth FC have officially been presented with their trophy and certificate after winning Best Youth Football Club at the 2025 Harrow Online Awards.
Sponsored by Everest Abercorn, the youth club beat tough competition from Harrow St Mary’s and Parkfield Youth FC to take home the final category of this year’s awards.
Club Chairman John O’Kane said: “This is an amazing achievement for Headstone Manor Youth FC who work hard in the local community to provide football to kids aged from 6 to 18. A club run solely by volunteers, who give up so much of their time for the benefit of the players, it has been running since 1993.
“All those that have been a part of the club from those that formed it back in 1993, managers, coaches and committee members through the years, through to the volunteer parents that currently run teams and are on the committee today, should be proud of what they have created and what they have achieved. Winning this award is the icing on the cake, especially as Headstone Manor Youth FC were up against other local clubs that are well established in the community.
“Headstone Manor Youth FC will continue to go from strength to strength and we will always welcome new players and parents to grow our club. If anyone would like to find out more information about the club, please visit our website. https://www.headstonemanoryouthfc.org.”
