Most of Maccabi Tel Aviv's Youth Division teams advanced to the next stage of their State Cup competitions. The Under-16s beat Hapoel Tel Aviv in a league Tel Aviv derby
With the major exception of the club's Under-19s, whose road in State Cup competition came to an early and abrupt end on Saturday, nearly all of Maccabi Tel Aviv's remaining Youth Division teams succeeded in advancing to the next round. Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eldad" started their campaign in the third round of the Under-17 State Cup with a bang, scoring three times within the first ten minutes of their away tie against opponents Beitar Tubruk, all courtesy of striker Raz Yitzhak. There the goalfest ended, but not before their 0-3 victory propelled head coach Eliezer Ben Aharon's Under-17s into the next round.
The Under-16s, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eli Fuchs", were the only Youth Division team to play a league match, hosting Hapoel Tel Aviv for this season's first municipal derby at Kiryat Shalom training ground. Ittimar Shaviro and Omer Lakau (from the spot) scored on either side of half time to give Maccabi a 2-0 lead before Hapoel pulled one back, handing head coach Erez Belfer's charges their tenth league victory in eleven encounters.
Both Under-15 teams advanced Cup competition, Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eldad" by beating Maccabi Amishav Petach Tikva 5-1, while Team 2 overwhelmed Maccabi Herzliya by a score of 0-7. Other scores:
Under-14 team North 7 – Maccabi Yaffo Kabilio 0
