After having competed last Saturday in State Cup ties, Maccabi Tel Aviv's Youth Division teams will be returning this week-end to their various league duties

After the disappointment of last Saturday's early exit from the Under-19 State Cup competition, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Shachar" will be keen to return to form this week-end when they turn their attention to league matters in matchweek 13 of the Under-19 Premier League. Head coach Ziv Arie's charges will head north to face Hapoel Haifa at their Kiryat Haim training ground for a match to be broadcast on Israeli sports channel Sport 5 at noon on Saturday. Maccabi's Under-19s can also look forward to a mid-week match next Tuesday at 2.30pm in the nation's capital against Beitar Jerusalem, a rescheduled matchweek 11 encounter that was postponed due to squad members' international commitments.  

Maccabi's Under-17s will be looking to maintain their perfect away form on Saturday when they play Hapoel Rishon Lezion at the local Superland training ground. At present leading the national Under-16 League South, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eli Fuchs" will host their closest competitor, Maccabi Petach Tikva, for a battle of the league pacesetters at 11am at Kiryat Shalom training ground. The Under-15 Team 1, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eldad", will visit Ironi Modi'in at 8.30am, while Team 2 are scheduled for an away tie against Kadima Tzoran FC at 11am in Kadima. At exactly the same hour Maccabi's Under-14 Team South will face Hapoel Ramat Hasharon at Kiryat Shalom while Team North travel to Haifa for a top-of-table encounter at 10.15am against Maccabi Haifa at their youth division's "Ketzef" training ground. Both of Maccabi's Under-13 teams will be playing away this Saturday, Team North against Maccabi Netanya at 5.45pm and Team South at 11am against Hapoel Rishon Lezion.
