St Kevin’s Boys were represented by 6 teams this year  - they were;

Tony Ryan Cup Final – SKB 12 Major v Leicester Celtic @ 11am Saturday. 

Were very unfortunate to lose 0-3 despite having most of the play throughout the game and the best chances.

Liam Brady Cup Final – SKB 13 Premier v Belvedere F C @ 3pm Saturday. 

Went a goal down through an unfortunate o g but their class showed in the second half winning 3-1 with goals from Shane Stokes (2) and Evan Pierce.

Conway Cup Final – SKB 15 Premier v Malahide United @ 3pm Sunday.

Never in danger of losing this game – in control all through. Won 2-0 through Shane Elworthy and Paddy Obijuru.

McGrath Cup Final – SKB 16 Premier v Home Farm F C @ 3pm Sunday.

An early goal set the tone for a comprehensive 3-1 win –  Evan Shine (2) Stephen Confey – A league and Cup double.

Taaffe Cup Final – SKB 17 Major 1 v Castleknock Celtic @ 1pm Sunday.

Leading 2-1 with goals from Aaron O’Brien and Reggie Immamuson deep into injury time and down to 9 men they conceded a late equaliser but held on in extra-time and went on to win the penalty shoot-out  4-2. Another League and Cup double.

Christopher Cup Final SKB 18 Premier v Tolka Rovers @ 1pm Sunday.

Led 2-0 through goals from James Gilchrist and Dylan McLoughlin soon after half-time but were under pressure when Tolka pulled one back. Won 2-1

Come along  next week and support our teams in the SFAI Cup finals in Jackson Park, Kiltiernan.

Anto Carey’s squad have also won their Under 9 DDSL League B1  as have our 10.1 Sat team who won the DDSL Under 10A Saturday League title.

Congratulations to all!!

Joe Quinn - who has been manager of this group of players all the way up from the small sided game – can feel rightly pround of this unequalled feat of 5 League wins in a row and hopefully they can make it a double like last year when they won the DDSL Under 14 Premier League and DDSL Thunder Cup with a win next Sunday in the AUL Complex in the DDSL McGrath Cup final against Home Farm at 3pm.

This years victory was all the more remarkable as it was achieved with the lowest amount of points dropped of the 5 titles and with 3 of the mainstays of  previous victories having departed the club last summer to join clubs in England  Jack Byrne – Manchester City, Alex O’Hanlon – Liverpool and Aaron Myles – Nottingham Forest.

Who is to say that they wont make it 6 in a row next year!!

A tremendous all round team performance laid the basis for our first All Ireland win at under 17 level when our 17 Premier team defeated DDSL League rivals Crumlin United 2-0 in an entertaining final this afternoon at Home Farm F C Whitehall.

SKB led through a Crumlin o g  in the first half and Corey Franzoni scored a coolly taken penalty late on to clinch a fully deserved victory. SKB left-back Darren Bollard was named man-of-the- match.

Congratulations to managers Elliot Morgan and Joe Byrne and all the squad.

With main rivals Castleknock Celtic drawing 4-4 with Willows F C  Patsy Browne’s 17 Major squad clinched the DDSL Major 1 League title at the weekend by virtue of a 2-0 away win at Esker Celtic and they hope to follow this win up next weekend when they play  Castleknock Celtic in the final of the DDSL Taaffe Cup at the AUL Complex at 1pm.

ST KEVIN’S BOYS   v   DULEEK F C

Continue Reading »]]> With 5 teams already into National Cup finals – our 11A Sat, 11A Sun, 12 Premier, 13 Premier, & 17 Premier and 2 others – our 17 Major (DDSL Taaffe Cup) & 18 Premier (Christopher Cup) in DDSL cup finals, they were  joined by our 15 Premier who recovered from the disappointment of losing their SFAI Evans Cup semi-final last Sunday to Cherry Orchard 1-2 to beat Crumlin United away in the DDSL Conway Cup semi-final 2-1 after extra-time.
This a well deserved win in a hard fought cup tie in what was generally a game of two halves. SKB goalkeeper Ronan Jones was the early hero saving a Crumlin penalty in the fifth minute and from then on the visitors dominated the exchanges going ahead through a Richie Purdy goal before the break. On the resumption the home side took control and leveled things up 10 minutes into the second half and looked sure to increase their tally such was their dominance at that stage. A straight red card for Dan Tobin soon after made the SKB task all the harder but they dug in well and saw the game out without further concession. In the extra-time they had a different look about them and Anto Breslin saw good effort from a header just go the wrong side of the post with the keeper beaten however soon after a fine effort by Sean Goulding was only parried away by the Crumlin keeper and Paddy Obijuru was on hand to smash home the loose ball for the winner, Crumlin piled 10 players forward in the last 5 minutes to no avail and a place in the final was secured against Malahide United next month.

In Ringsend Park on Friday night  our first team came from behind to beat St Pats C Y 3-2 in the sem-final of the Leinster Junior Cup and so qualify for their third final in four years, Stephen Larkin, Lar Dunne and Alan Talbot were the goalscorers. This is a very busy and important week for the first team as they play Sheriff Y C away (6-45pm)  in a top of the AUL Premier A table clash on Tuesday and St Paul’s Artane at home (6-30pm) on Thursday in the quarter-final of the AUL Liddy Cup.

Our 13 Premier made it a double cup final appearance for the second year running when they beat Mountview Boys  (3-2) in the Liam Brady Cup semi-final at Shanowen Road in tight game, having gone 2 up they were pegged back to      2 – 2 but straight from the kick-off Ryan Graydon hit back to score the winner.

At Ellenfield our 12 Major continued their great run this season by beating  Crumlin United  in the semi-final of the DDSL Ryan Cup, they went 3-0 up through a Sean Imasuen hat-trick and looked to be coasting before Crumlin pulled 2 back but Ben  Bell scored a fourth to ease the pressure. We are the holders of this cup having won it last year with our 12 Premier so it will be a great achievement if we could retain it next month with our 12 Major.

Over in The Lawn we relinquished hold of the DDSL Thunder Cup when our 14 Premier lost (3-2) to Cherry Orchard in the semi-final.

Our 16 Premier booked their place in the final of the DDSL McGrath Cup when they overcame their cup bogey team – Shelbourne F C at Shanowen Road. After a first half of few clearcut chances Eoghan Stokes opened the scoring with a fine header from a well worked corner kick and Aaron Ashe finished the game as a contest when he volleyed in superbly on the half-turn following another corner from Dylan Kavanagh.

What a weekend at Shanowen Road and in Cork with 5 of our teams through to the finals of National Cups.

Our 13 Premier disposed of the challenge of Salthill Devon 7-0 in the semi-final of the SFAI Troy Cup but the chance of them meeting our own 13 Brenfer Premier team in the final was dashed when Tony Gleeson’s team were desperately unlucky to loose their semi-final to Corinthians from Cork at Shanowen Road – 2-1 despite having to play almost the entire game with 10 men following a red card incident when the home side were already 1 up.

History was made on Saturday when both of our 11A teams-  Sunday and Saturday – reached the final of the Menton-Seery Cup of which we are the holders – with wins over Killarney Celtic (3-1) and Mount Merrion F C (2-0), well done to Paudie O’Sullivan, George Doyle and Paul O’Dwyer and both squads of players.They have a great day to look forward to next month.

In the S F A I Evans Cup semi-final our 15 Premier lost 2-1 to Cherry Orchard despite having the lions share of possession throughout the game but an early goal gave the Orchard something to hold on to and the concession of a further soft goal 10 minutes from time made Shane Elworthy’s late strike little more than consolation.

We had better luck in the F A I Under 17 Cup semi-final when our 17 Premier beat Arklow Town 3-1 in a tough encounter with goals from Josh O’Hanlon, Philip Gannon and Corey Franzoni. The final against Crumlin United is fixed for Whitehall on May 6th at 1pm.

In the Leinster Youth Cup semi-final our 18 Super lost 1-0 to Bohemians F C at Wards Cross, this was an extremely close game and we were left to rue a succession of missed chances that might have brought about a different result.

Another super result came from our 12 Premier team who traveled to Cork and defeated Temple United 5-0 in the semi-final of the S F A I Norton Cup. They have played away in Mayo, Wexford and Swords in the three previous rounds so they have certainly have plenty of miles on the clock going into the final next month against main DDSL rivals Crumlin United.
