Our Academy — now home to over 45 young players who train with us every Saturday — wrapped up the 2025 year last Saturday under the guidance of head coach Collie Byrne.

To mark the end of another brilliant year of learning, fun, and football development, our newest recruits were presented with their Academy zippies, generously supported by @ardcairncapital.

 The children also received Christmas selection boxes, supplied by the club with a big thank you to Des in Kennedy’s Centra Stepaside, which added to the festive spirit.

The Academy continues to grow year on year, and we’re excited to welcome new players aged 4 and up when sessions resume in January 2026.

Wishing all our players and families a very happy Christmas — enjoy the break, and we look forward to seeing you in the new year! 🎄💙⚽️
