Congratulations to former SKFC players Ciaran Behan and Luca Cailloce and their UCD team mates on their win tonight in the Airtricity League of Ireland promotion / relegation play off coming from behind to beat Premier League side Drogheda United 2-1.

Drogheda went ahead but a stunning free kick from Ciaran levelled the score before Louie Dignam scored the winner to ensure UCD return to the Premier League next season after three years in the first division.

Ciaran and Luca played all their schoolboy football at Shanowen Road and its good to see that another two ex club players will be playing at the top level of club football in the country next season.

The Little Saints Coaching Academy resumes.

St. KEVIN’S FOOTBALL CLUB CLUBHOUSE

         Larkhill Road / Crestfield Road Whitehall

D09 HY42.

Our Academy is widely regarded as one of the best in the country as an introduction to the game of soccer for boys and girls from 4 to 8 years of age.

Registration is open all season long – each Saturday at the above address at 1.15pm

Our aim is to provide the very best football coaching for young children. Many players who have started their football journey at this basic level here with us have gone on to be household names in Irish football while others have played the game at a level they felt comfortable with –

but this is where it all starts.

Each child’s enjoyment and the fun they have at our sessions is what we have built our reputation on and has been vital to our success over the years.

All sessions are devised by our head coaches overseen by a qualified lead-coach along with other coaches and assisted by parents.

The goal at this early stage is to introduce children to the basic concepts of football.

We also try to help the children develop their social skills, interact with other children and most importantly, have fun!

We try to help each child learn the basics of the game while at the same time ensuring every player enjoys each session with activities to keep them interested with plenty of time on the ball and individual coaching, as well as interacting with other children with whom they will become friends.
