Middlesex FA Staff Sleep Out for Ealing Foodbank
Tonight, Middlesex FA’s staff team will be sleeping in the grounds of Rectory Park, experiencing a night under the stars. The team are taking this action as a move of solidarity with those less fortunate who may have no fixed abode or need to utilise any of the services the Ealing Foodbank provide.
You can show support to the Middlesex FA staff for their actions, but most importantly help to provide vital funds to one of the most used Foodbank sin the capital.

Middlesex FA Host Annual Awards Evening

Middlesex FA Host Weetabix Wildcats Football Festival
Middlesex FA hosted the 3rd Annual Girls’ Wildcats Festival at Rectory Park on Saturday last, 1st July. This successful and enjoyable event was first held in June 2019 and was re-introduced last year after the Covid enforced break.
Seven teams in the U8-U11 age group attended and they all played each other once, giving a total of 21 matches of 10 minutes each. Denham United pulled out on the day but fortunately Harefield had sufficient players available to provide another team, their third in total, thus preventing disruption of the timetable. So, the competing teams were West Harrow Warriors, West Harrow Wolves, Harefield Reds, Harefield Blacks, Harefield Whites, Hope Church and Brent Schools.
