George Frangeskou the founder, chairman and Manager of St Panteleimon FC has announced yesterday that the club will fold and withdraw from the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division with immediate effect.
The club were founded in 2015 as a church team put together to help those less fortunate who have experienced difficulties and hardship in their young lives.
They began playing in the KOPA Sunday League alongside their great rival's New Salamis and moved into Saturday Football for the 17/18 season in the Middlesex County League Division One Central & East.
New Salamis followed them into Saturday football for the 18/19 season and are currently playing in the Isthmian North Division.

Frangeskou stated "At this level and with no home ground to call our own, the financial demands required to meet with the criteria are unattainable, unsustainable and beyond our scope. It is with great sadness therefore that we announce that St Panteleimon FC will fold with immediate effect. We would like to thank everyone that has supported our journey throughout the past nine years and to all the players, past and present, for creating some of the most cherished memories imaginable and a success story we hope inspires others."
"Above all else, changing the lives of so many players who wore the shirt, helping them on and off the pitch and continuing to help and support them and their families in life. This stands our biggest achievement of all.
Adios Amigos!"
The Saints last game was a 2-1 defeat at Potton United in the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division on Saturday 23rd March in front of 67 people at The Hollow. Former LondonTiger's player Hamza Miezou will go down on record as the scorer of their last ever goal.
