Congratulations to all five who have played all their football in SKB since joining at small sided game level where they enjoyed great success over the years before progressing last season to national league level as part of the SKB-BOHS Academy.

All of their coaches and managers at SKB through the years can take great credit and pride in their achievements up to now and hopefully they can emulate all of their illustrious predecessors who have represented the club at schoolboy level and beyond.

Also included in the squad are ex SKB players Ivan Graminschi and Richie Vodo.

Ireland will take on Wales on Sunday, October 30th, followed by Northern Ireland on Wednesday, November 2nd and Scotland on Friday, November 4th.

Good Day At The Thomond Cup Tournament

Four of our small sided games squads took up the invitation today to take part in the Thomond Cup tournament in Limerick.

Our under 9’s (2014) 10’s (2013)  11’s (2012) and 12’s (2011) made the journey south and all reached the final of their respective age groups with the 9’s 10’s and 12’s winning their competitions and the 11’s narrowly losing out in their final to close neighbours Home Farm.

These tournaments are all part of the boys learning proces as they advance through the age groups which we as a club have always encouraged to broaden their experience and test them in a different environment to what they encounter weekly in local league games and to follow in the footsteps of al the successful teams that SKB have produced over the years.

Congratulations to all the players and staff involved today and to the parents who travellled to support the teams.

We Need Your Help!!

As all of our teams start to return to training and games across our schoolboy section, we encourage any parents interested to get involved with their children’s teams to assist with the smooth running of training sessions and matches.

Any small contribution, such as arriving 10 minutes before a training session/game to help with set up or staying 5 minutes afterwards to help put all items away, really does make a huge difference.

With many of our young members who also act as coaches now playing games on a regular basis on Saturday mornings, help is required for our Little Saints Coaching Academy. It is a great way to get to know many of the club members as well as contributing to the future of the club.

There are many roles that you can assist – not just coaching (if you are not comfortable doing coaching) – please speak to Denis Cassidy, on 085-7299193 or any of the LSCA staff – help is always welcome.

There is no need to be shy! Your contribution, no matter how small, will be very much appreciated.
