A massive thanks to SKC Providers Limited for once again coming on board as the main sponsor for our senior teams and also for their contribution to the sanding and spiking work which got done on the pitch during the week. We hope that all our members and supporters can support not only SKC but all our sponsors for the coming year.

 

Membership is now well over due. It is vital that all adult and juveniles pay their membership or they are not covered if injured. If no effort is made to pay then they will be unable to train or play. Contact the team coaches for membership details.

Get well wishes to club chairman Bobby who is recovering from a operation on a injury we believe he first picked up in 1976 and congratulations to senior goalkeeper and club secretary Peter Dignam and his wife Amanda on the birth of their baby son on Saturday. 

 

Well done to the under 14 girls team on a great win against Kilcoole in their first league match. Hard luck to a very young under 16 team who lost to Tinahely and also hard luck to the ladies team who lost on Sunday evening to Eire Og. 

 

A good win for the senior team away to Blessington on Sunday morning, next up is St. Pats at home on Thursday evening. Hard luck to the intermediate team who lost away to Vallymount on Saturday. We hosted our first Go Games blitz on Friday night with all the under 7's and under 9's doing brilliant in bad conditions. The under 15's were unlucky to lose out to AGB on Wednesday night while also on Wednesday our under 11 red team beat St. Pats away while the green team lost out to Eire Og it was a great effort from both teams.
