NARROW DEFEAT FOR SKFC v FC BARCELONA IN SALOU

Update – our under 12 Premier side went down by the narrowest of margins to FC Barcelona 1-0 in this mornings Cruyff Cup semi final in Salou.

They play Getafe CF in the 3rd/4th playoff later this morning.

While most football in this country has ground to a halt due to the incessant rainfall our under 12 Premier team have been taking part in the Cruyff Tournament in CE Futbol Salou in sunny Spain.

They have been playing really well all through the Tournament and have reached the semi final where they will face FC Barcelona tomorrow morning at 9.30am.

Ajax and Getafe CF are paired in the other semi final also at 9.30am.

Best of luck boys.

A GOOD DAY IN SFAI CUP & TROPHY TIES

Despite the downpour this morning most of the SFAI cup and trophy ties involving SKFC went ahead and the games produced some excellent performances and results.

In the under 12 National Cup our under 12 Premier team turned a 2-0 league defeat away to Shamrock Rovers a fortnight ago into a 2-1 cup win today and move into the next round.

Not so fortunate were our under 11A side who were playing up a year – they went down 5-1 away to Mount Merrion under 12 Premier side.

Our Under 12.2 Sunday travelled to Cabinteely in the SFAI Trophy and a fine performance saw them win 3-1.

The under 13 Premier team returned to Pearse Park in Crumlin for the replay of the original National Cup tie which was abandoned out there a fortnight ago due to a serious knee injury to Jake Kavanagh with the score at 1-1. Today’s game was equally close with a late second half penalty giving us a 2-1 win.

Our Under 13 Major game in the SFAI Trophy was played in atrocious conditions at St.Aidan’s and credit to both teams for the game they provided with a goal in extra time giving Glasnevin a 3-2 win.

The Under 13 Sunday 1 SFAI Cup game away to Home Farm was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.

It took a long time for our Under 14 Premier team to get going in their National Cup game at Shanowen Road against Park Celtic but a strong second half performance saw them advance on a 6-1 scoreline.

Sundrive Park was another ground that was unplayable this morning, as was the majority of grass pitches in the city, so the 15 Premier SFAI Cup game against Lourdes Celtic was a casualty of the weather.

Also in the Under 15 Cup our Under 15 Major 1 team kept their interest alive in the competition with a fine win against premier league opponents away to Arthur Griffith Park. 2-2 at the end of extra time they prevailed 5-4 in the shoot-out.

GET WELL SOON JAKE!!

Everyone at St. Kevin’s Football Club would like to wish our under 13 premier player Jake Kavanagh a speedy return to fitness following his unfortunate knee injury this afternoon in the SFAI Cup game against Crumlin United in Pearse Park which resulted in the game being abandoned late in the first half.

Thanks to the staff at Crumlin United who made Jake as comfortable as possible while awaiting the ambulance and to the ambulance paramedics who attended and who eased his pain before removing him to Crumlin Hospital.

We hope to see Jake back in action better than ever in the New Year.

SKFC CLUB / PLAYER REGISTRATION 2025/26

To register a player to play for SKFC in the DDSL (Dublin & District Schoolboys/Girls League) for the coming season ALL players must be registered by his/her parent/guardian through the DDSL website. This applies to all players from U8 to U18, but not to U7 academy players. A fee of €30 must be paid to the DDSL at the time of registration.

New players to the club or registering on the DDSL site for the first time will need to upload photo ID (passport, birth certificate and specimen signature), and pay the league fee of €30. .

The SKFC club registration fee for the coming season 2025/2026 for players playing in the DDSL from under 8 – under 18 is unchanged at €130 per family – not per child. A separate fee is payable for children in the Little Saints Coaching Academy.

The weekly subscription fee in SKFC from under 8 – under 18 inclusive is €12 per player

If a parent wants to make a one off payment for subs only ait is 400 euro.

Registration and subscription fees shouldstart to be collected as soon as panels are finalised.

Pat Daly the club treasurer (087-2802666) would prefer if the managers collected  all fees but if a parent insists on paying into the club directly either by credit card over the phone or by revolut they must reference the payment using the managers name and the players name so that the payments can be allocated correctly. The same applies to managers paying subs or registration fees in to the club.

All managers should also ensure that their panel is registered internally with the club by using the following link:
