ROCCO LAWLOR IS FAI U15 PLAYER OF THE YEAR.

Congratulations to ex St Kevin’s boy Rocco Lawlor on being names the FAI U15 Player of the Year this afternoon at the Aviva stadium.

Rocco came from playing his schoolboy football all the way up at the club before then moving on the club partnership pathway with Bohemian FC from under 14 onwards.

Rocco has always worked hard at his game and now has a great opportunity to push on to the next level.

Well done Rocco!!

BOHEMIAN UNDER 15’s & 20’s WIN NATIONAL LEAGUES

 

Congratulations to both Bohemian under 15 and 20 squads who yesterday both won their respective National Leagues.

The 15’s beat Dundalk FC while the 20’s overcame Drogheda United.

Both squads contain many SKFC players who have come through the pathway such as – Under 15’s Rocco Lawlor, Jamie Fox, Travis Keddy, Isa Hannon and Kyle Finnegan – that our link with Bohemians offers them and there are many more players coming through following the same route.

On the management team for the 15’s were former SKFC players Ray Scully and Cian Fox.

Another such player is Cian Smith who last season won the FAI under 17 Cup and DDSL under 17 premier with us before moving up two years to Under 20 national league level.

Here’s hoping for more success at under age National League level thereby ensuring that our players will continue to follow the path of so many other SKFC players into the Bohemian first team squad.

SKFC UNDER 11 GIRLS WIN NORTH WEST CROSS BORDER CUP

With a number of our premier and major teams making successful starts to their DDSL league campaign at home and away this weekend our Under 11 girls team made the long trek to Derry to take part in the North West Cross Border Cup.

After topping their qualifying group they played Maherafelt Blues in the semi-final which turned out to be a very tight affair with Aliyah Quinn scoring the only goal of game.

The hosts Foyle City Girls FC were their final opponents and despite going a goal down in a fiercely contested game they came back strongly to win 4-1 with 2 goals from Mia Coyle and one each from Emily King and Aliyah Quinn who was again on the scoresheet.

Aliyah Quinn was deservedly named player of the tournament.

Over 5 games they scored 16 goals and conceded only 2.

Congratulations to all of the squad and management – well done!!!

NEW SEASON STARTS TONIGHT.

Tonight sees the start of the DDSL 2026/27 season.

We would like to wish all of our teams who are starting this week or next week the best of luck for the season ahead and hopefully all the hard work done in pre-season will show results at the end of the season.

The introduction of online coach registration and match cards will no doubt cause initial confusion but with any luck this will sort itself out in a couple of weeks.

The DDSL have warned all clubs that they will operate a zero policy in relation to abuse of referees by either managers / coaches or parents of teams, and all parents should be made aware of this.

 

L.I.F.E’s FESTIVAL OF FOOTBALL A GREAT SUCCESS.

Thanks to all of our members who turned up today to assist in the running of the L.I.F.E  = Learn In Football Environment festival of football at the SKFC Centre Of Excellence at Ward Cross.

The layout and the organisation showed LIFE and the club in a very positive light which was commented on by many who were in attendance.

Well done to Craig Caffrey, Josh Lindsey and their team for organising the event so well and we look forward to another such venture in the future.
