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.

 

PRE-SEASON TOURNAMENT WINS TODAY

Three of our teams took part in pre-season tournaments today and all three emerged as winners in their various sections and as a bonus all three went through the day unbeaten.

The 14 major in the Templeogue Cup.

Our 11 girls in the Finglas Celtic tournament (boys section).

2019 (Under 8) boys in the Kells Celtic tournament, where both St. Kevin’s teams played one another in the final.

Well done to all of the players and management.

It is always a great boost to get some wins as a group before the real action starts in a few weeks time.

STATEMENT; St. KEVIN’S FOOTBALL CLUB SENIOR SECTION.

STATEMENT

St. Kevin’s Football Club  Senior Section.

It is with great reluctance and regret that St Kevin’s Football Club has decided not to proceed with teams in senior football in the Leinster Senior League with immediate effect.

Despite our best effort’s we have not been able to recruit enough players who can commit to us at this level, and we were unable to identify personnel of sufficient calibre willing to manage these teams despite interviewing numerous candidates who for their own reasons were not in a position to accept the roles.

We have tried to work through these issues over the past two months in a bid to start the season, while accepting there weren’t any guarantees that we could ever do so.

Rather than further delay the inevitable we are making the decision now so as to let those players who had committed to us time to find other clubs’ and we thank them for their patience and the loyalty shown to the club at this difficult time.

St. Kevin’s Football Club would like to place on record our sincere thanks to all of our past senior managers, coaches, players, administrators and supporters who over the years gave a huge amount of dedication and commitment in order for SKFC to play and compete at senior level.

We apologise that we are unable to continue the good work that was put in over the years by so many good people but promise that we will regroup to once again return to play in the Leinster Senior League at senior level.

UNDER 17 PREMIER WIN LEAGUE TO MAKE IT A DOUBLE…. (7)

Congratulation to our under 17 premier team who rounded off their season in fine style by winning the DDSL U17 Premier league title with an emphatic win over Cabinteely FC yesterday in St. Aidan’s so adding the league title to their FAI Cup win a fortnight ago and being denied a season treble on penalties in the Leinster under 17 Youth Cup.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Our Under 13 premier team are latest, and the 6th, SKFC team to win their League following a 3-1 win today away to Rathcoole FC.

League champions for the second year in succession, having won last year at under 12, the squad has had a memorable season with this league win as well as reaching the final of both the SFAI Under 13 National Cup and the DDSL Liam Brady Cup. The best team over a season wins the league and so theses lads have proved that over the past two seasons.

A goal down today at half time in a game that they only needed a point to ensure the title they came storming back in the second half with goals from Brody Coyle (2) and Max Glowgoski.

Well done to all the players who performed strongly all season from start to finish and to the management team of Joe Quinn – yet another major title for Joe – Paul O’Brien and Louis Cassidy.

Two interesting features of this win is that it the first time in the history of the club that a brother and sister have won league medals in the one season – Brody and Halle Coyle (Under 15 girls) and secondly the achievement of Max Glowgoski who has scored 63 goals this season.

___________________________________________________________________________

Our Under 16 premier team are latest, and the 4th, SKFC team to win their League following a 1-0 win tonight away to St. Josephs AFC.

Derin Jonmark scored a goal worthy of winning any league with a strike from outside the box and so put themselves in an unassailable position at the

top of the League.

It is a great achievement for this group of players most of whom are collecting a third premier league medal on the trot having won the DDSL Premier league at under 14, 15 and now under 16.

They showed great character over the past few weeks in their league games following their defeat 0-1 to tonight’s opponents in the SFAI Under 16 National cup final.

Congratulations to the management team of Greg Victory, Ciaran Burke, Carl O’Reilly and Logan O’Connell and all of their squad.

____________________________________________________________________________

The U13 Sunday 1 team are league champions following a 1-0 win on Sunday away to Swords Celtic and so put themselves in an unassailable position at the top of their League and it follows on from their win in the same league at under 12 last season.

Congratulations to Stephen Comerford and Ian Sweeney and all of their squad – they can look forward to making it a League and Cup double next weekend against Portmarnock AFC in the DDSL Gerry Donnelly cup final.

_______________________________________________________________________________

The latest SKFC team to win their League was our U15 Major 1 who following a 2-2 draw with Corduff FC on Wednesday night put themselves in an unassailable position at the top of their League .  Congratulations to Keith Peppard, Nicky Somers and Rory Doogan and all of their squad – they can look forward to making it a League and Cup double next weekend against Cherry Orchard FC in the DDSL Conway cup final.

_______________________________________________________________________________

A bright spot over the weekend was the first league title of the season for the club with our 13 Sunday 5 division team  managed by Chris O’Neill and Jason Mc Mahon winning their league that their team went through with just one defeat all season.

Congratulations to the management and players. Hopefully there will be more to come over the coming weeks.

CONGRATULATIONS JOSH KEELEY, DAWSON DEVOY & KIAN LEAVY….

Following on from Tayo Adaramola who received his first full international cap for the Republic of Ireland team in their recent game against Grenada in a friendly in Spain three more SKFC players have been honoured with full caps for Ireland – Josh Keeley in the Grenada game and Dawson Devoy and Kian Leavy in last Friday’s friendly against Canada.

Many congratulations to them and to their families on reaching such a milestone in their career and hopefully it will inspire them to push on achieve further success with their clubs so as to enhance their international careers further.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Congratulations are extended to ex St Kevin’s Football Club player Tayo Adaramola who today will receive his first full international cap in the Republic of Ireland team who play Grenada in a friendly in Spain.

Tayo played schoolboy football for SKFC where Mark Keenan was his manager,but he never played at premier level for the club, before his family moved to London for work reasons.

He was signed by Crystal Palace soon after his arrival and he worked his way up through their Academy – where he is still a registered player – but spent last season with Championship side Sheffield Wednesday making 39 league appearances on loan with them.

Well done to him and his family. A reward for all his hard work and fighting spirit and hopefully this is a boost to his club career and the first of many more international caps.

Another plaque on the wall!!
