Old Millhillians Football Club

The team was originally set up in 2013, running for three years, and under the leadership of George Collins and Sami Aintaoui, and won promotion from Division 5 North of the Arthurian League. After narrowly missing out on another promotion, the team was then forced to disband due to a lack of squad numbers.

With many of those same players back together, plus some new fresh faces, the team (now run by Richard Whelan and George Ghaffari) lies third in Division 5 North after an unbeaten start to the season. After an opening weekend draw with Old Brentwoods, the team then beat top of the table Merchant Taylors 5-1, with midfielder Max McGee scoring a hat-trick. OMFC then followed this up with a 3-1 away win at Old Cheltonians, with goals coming from James Kelsall and Adam Hassanali.

The squad has high hopes of winning the league in their first year back together and moving up through the divisions in the coming years.

The team trains regularly on Wednesdays in the Mill Hill/ Finchley area, and Saturday morning games are played across North London. Games are always followed by drinks and food, and the end of season parties are the stuff of legend. There is even talk of a summer tour this year! The success of the team owes a great deal to the strong spirit within the squad, with many of the boys having played together in Mill Hill School’s first ever school football match way back in 2007.

It has been great to see that the hard work and determination of those players to put football on the map was not in vain as the game has developed into a major sport at Mill Hill.
