St Kevins Boys Football Club was founded in 1959. Since its formation the Club has grown from providing football for 1 team to looking after in excess of 40 teams, consisting of all ages and standards. This season the Club has 40 Teams, 600 Players, 82 Managers and organises its own Saturday Mini Leagues, Summer Leagues and provides regular Coaching seminars and other topical workshops for interested managers.
As the Club membership has grown over the years, so too have the facilities. The Club owns its own Clubhouse, All Weather Training facilites and enclosed ground, adjacent to the Clubhouse.
The Club continues to upgrade and enhance all facilities for members. Particular thanks must go to all the members and friends who participate in our Klotto Draw each week, our annual bumper Christmas draw and our Golf Classic. Without their support, we would not survive financially. Fundraising plays a major role within our Club, whether its for the Club Development or assisting teams finance trips abroad.
The Club has its own Coaching Academy under the direction of SKB Director of Football, Ken Donohoe and is continually endeavouring to uplift the standards of play within the Club.
Like most other schoolboy clubs, St Kevins is managed on a voluntary basis, with managers, coaches and committee members all contributing to the cause free gratis.
The Club plays its home DDSL schoolboy fixtures in Ellenfield Park,Whitehall, the AUL Complex and the College of Surgeons, Cloghran, while the 7-a-side games are played at Ellenfield Park and Coolgreena Close.
Among the club's most famous exports are Damian Duff, Liam Brady, Ian Harte, Stephen Carr and Alan Maybury. No doubt we will have many more players competing for international honours, at both junior and senior level. We must not forget club stalwarts like junior international players such as Anto Wilkins, John Ryan, Phil Long, Austin Hannon, Keith Maher, Philip Lennon, Johnny Carroll and Stephen Higgins who have contributed to the success of the club at junior level.
Congratulations to all and long may such successes continue.
