Welcome to the Parkfield Youth Football Club home page.
We first started fielding teams in 1945 and fielded our first youth teams
in the early 1960s and since then the club has grown to be one of the
biggest and most highly regarded clubs in the area. We currently field
21 boys and girls youth teams ranging from U7 to U18. On this web site you will find information
about the club the club history, where to find us and how to get involved with the club . We also have a page per team so if you are involved with the club already or are just interested you can see how each of the teams are doing.
Welcome to our news and events section where you will be able to find out information about the football related news and events at the club.
Wow! What a weekend of football we had - the weather was great, the barbeque was in full swing (managed admirably by Steve with an amazing shift put in by Greg - watch out for the time and motion man Greg!) and Colin who had the electronic scoring system working a treat.
Parkfield teams had a very good weekend with many of our teams reaching the semi final stage and three teams getting to the finals.
The club would particularly like to thank all the parents who assisted with all the many tasks that we always have to perform over the two days (Bar-B-Q, tea bar etc) and those who helped us in our preparations on the Friday preceding the Tournament and in clearing away at the end of the Event. Grateful thanks also, as always, to the St John's Ambulance staff who look after us so well.
Alan Witham (Club Secretary) writes - 'I hope all our players and supporters, and particularly all our guests, enjoyed themselves - See you all next year'.

The club is looking for some donations of tools and maintenance equipment to help with the upkeep of the grounds. If you have any unwanted stuff we are interested! Wheel barrows, brushes, spades, forks, buckets that kind of thing. Bring it along on a match day preferably and leave it by or in the club house. If you are unsure the item will be of use email alanwitham49@hotmail.com (no rubbish please).
On 15 September 2008 local footballers from Harrow along with Premier League referee David Elleray and Middlesex FA Chief Executive Peter Claytin met in Hatch End to highlight the FA's new Respect campaign .... read more
The club would like to investigate expanding the kitchen and bar area to provide more facilities on match days. To get this moving the committee would be interested to talk to any architects / designers or trades people who would be able to assist with the initial plans for the work. If anyone thinks they may be able to assist, or knows someone who can, then please contact Harry, Alan or any of the executive committee (see contact us on the menu on the left).
Ex Parkfield junior Jason Roberts, who is currently playing for Blackburn Rovers, has kindly donated a framed signed shirt to the club. This photo shows a group of Parkfield boys and coaches with the shirt...thank you Jason! (More info on Jason Roberts)
Further to the report on this website that we have been asked to try a new spectator initiative your intrepid reporter (i.e. webmaster) has an update. I was present on one wet and wild day pitchside to witness the boundary posts and police incident style tape being erected alongside the pitch - the idea being that this would keep spectators and coaches away from the action areas - so helping the players and referee.
Unfortunately it was so windy the tape pulled the posts over and some posts (plastic) started to break - so the trial had to be abandoned. We of course continue to have a rope along the car park pitch which is made of sterner stuff.
We will let you know of any further updates and technological advances (like using a rope rather than thick tape!) when we get them. (Ed)
