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.

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.
