THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED OUR RAFFLE – HAPPY CHRISTMAS & PEACEFUL NEW YEAR TO ALL.

The last weekend of football before Christmas was a good one with important wins for teams at all ages throughout the Club.

On Saturday at Shanowen Road our 14 Premier recovered well from last weeks unlucky defeat to Cherry Orchard to score a 2 – 0 win over Malahide United in a close fought game – Brian Mc Manus and Dawson Devoy scored first half goals but Malahide were the dominant team in the second half forcing Cian Clarke into a couple of excellent saves. Earlier on Saturday morning our 12 Premier had a 4 – 1 win over St Malachys. Our 12.3 maintain their unbeaten record at the top of the DDSL 12 A League with a 2 – 1 home win over Verona F C and our 10A were 4 – 3 winners away to Crumlin United.

A 1 – 0 away win at Rathcoole Boys sees our 17 Major 1 at the top of their League table going into the Christmas break and our 18 Super had a welcome 5 – 0 win at home to Tolka Rovers.

In the Leinster Youths Cup Ross Nally scored a hat trick away to Johnstown F C at the Meath & District Leagues complex in Navan yesterday – Jamie Gray and Jason Groves were the other two scorers in an impressive performance.

There were League wins yesterday for our 11.5 (1 – 0) v Esker Celtic at home, our 12.6 and 11.1 both drew against Lakelands (1-1) and St Josephs Boys (2-2) respectively.

The 16 Premier team had to come from behind in the final twenty minutes to maintain their 100% League record with a 5-2 away win against Mountview Boys, our 16 Major and 16 NDSL Premier had League wins over Castleknock Celtic (3-0) and Laytown United (2-0) while our other under 16 team drew 0-0 at home to Cabinteely in the DDSL A League.

In the DDSL 15 A League we also occupy top spot which was confirmed with a 6-2 away win against Greystones United while our 14 NDSL Premier continue their unbeaten run with a 2-0 win away to Portmarnock in the NDSL Mc Kenna Cup.

Goals from Ross Harrison and Stephen Cantwell put our 1st team 2 up inside the first fifteen minutes of their AUL Premier A home tie against Donneycarney United at Shanowen Road – they went further ahead before half-time with Cantwell scoring his second from the penalty spot but Donneycarney rallied well in the second half but could not pull back the defecit and a welcome 3 points were secured with a 3-2 win.

Highlight of our 14 Premier NDSL 7 – 0 Goodson Cup fourth round win over Woodlawn Sportslink was Gavin Doyle’s five goal scoring spree as the home side proved far too good in this game that was played at Shanowen Road yesterday – Jack Bolton and Harry Dunne were the other two scorers.

Our hold on the SFAI Barry Cup was surrendered by our 16 DDSL Premier who were disappointing in their defeat by main rivals Belvedere F C (2 – 1) at Shanowen Road.  They were left to rue a couple of missed chances and were undone by a goal from a set piece and a deflective shot which put Belvedere 2 – 0 up with ten minutes to go, Mikey Cregan produced an excellent piece of skill and a class finish to pull a goal back almost immediately but they left themselves with too much to do against a hard working focused Belvedere side.

Jack Funge scored the only goal in our 13 Premier DDSL Brady Cup win at Leixlip in a close encounter that went to extra time while our 17 Super were too good for Cabinteely F C in the third round of the FAI Under 17 Cup winning 5 – 1 away.  Our 18 Super were defeated in the Leinster Youth Cup away to Belvedere F C.

The dismissal of Ryan Cassidy on a straight red card after only five minutes was the turing point in our DDSL 24 Premier’s 1 – 0 defeat at home on Saturday by League leaders Cherry Orchard F C in a game where the other ten players strove manfully for over an hour in a game which they deserved at least a draw from.

The recent series of games in the FAI Youth Inter League Trophy saw a host of players from SKB’s Under 17 and 18 Super teams represent the DDSL and the AUL.

Last Saturday night at Richmond Road the DDSL defeated the NDSL 2-1 in a close fought encounter which featured no fewer than 8 SKB players in the wimnning squad; Jamie Gray, Eoin Morgan, Ross Nally, Darragh Roycroft, Luke Wade-Slater, Conor Keane, Jason Groves and Liam Brady. The win came at a cost with Ross Nally sustaining a broken nose and Luke Wade-Slater having eight stitches in a nasty head wound.

The previous week Darren Lyng, James Browne, Jeff Rafter, Paul McMahon, Ross Kyle, Kyle Scully, Lee Partridge and Aaron McFadden represented the AUL – managed by Elliot Morgan and Donie Bermingham – against the Kildare League but went down 4-2 to end their interest in this years competition.

First team captain Paddy Brophy led the AUL Oscar Traynor Trophy team to their second victory in this years group games when they defeated the Wicklow League 4-0 yesterday at the Carlisle Grounds with former SKB players Alan Talbot (3) and Martin Moore scoring the goals.

Spurning numerous gilt edged chances including a penalty kick which struck the post our Premier A team could not pull back a 2 nil deficit which CIE Ranch had built up by virtue of an early second half goal in the 3rd round Leinster Junior Cup tie at Shanowen Road this afternoon. The visitors were reduced to ten men 15 minutes into the second half by which time they were 2 up and Stephen Cantwell’s goal six minutes from time turned out to be a consolation score.

Our NDSL 14 Premier side travelled to Dromin United in County Louth this morning and had a fine 3-1 win in the SFAI Goodson Cup third round with goals from Gavin Doyle Alex Cetner and Ola Oliwange.

Our NDSL 13 Premier side scored an impressive 2-0 win over Maynooth Town in the 3rd round of the SFAI Troy Cup at Shanowen Road this morning. In command throughout they led at half time with goals from Ethan Delaney and James Foy and only the crossbar and some excellent saves from the Maynooth Town goalkeeper stopped that scoreline being extended in the second half.

A 35th minute equaliser from James McManus gave our Under 10A Sunday a deserved draw away to Belvedere FC this morning in a tight game of few clear cut chances to either side, Belvedere had just taken the lead minutes before James’s shot took a slight deflection and ended up in the net.

In the only other SKB game played this weekend our 10C Sunday scored an impressive 7-0 away win at St Pauls Artane.

Ringsend Rovers 1 – SKB Senior Saturday 4 was the outcome on Friday night at the Ringsend Astro as goals from Josh Peyton, Jordan Farry, Andy McKenna and Chris McDonnell ensured that our AUL Senior Saturday side made it into round 4 of this seasons Leinster Junior Cup.
