Hendon have organised a women's tournament which will take place at the East Barnet Festival on Saturday 5th July. This will be the first time women's football has featured in the festival's history and is a result of a partnership between our women's team and the festival organisers. The festival is one the largest free festivals in London and includes live music and workshops for all ages.

Our ladies will compete against teams such as Tottenham Hotspur, Dagenham & Redbridge and Crystal Palace. Fulham and England International Rachel Yankey has been invited along to present the trophies to the winners. A signed England shirt donated by Arsenal and England International Kirsty Pealing will be raffled to raise money for the team and Breast Cancer Research. There will also be Brazilian Taster Sessions for girls at 3.00pm and 4.00pm led by our mascot, Monty. Any girls interested in joining in these sessions are welcome, as well as supporters for the women's team - the festival promises to be a lively event.
