AUGUST
KCFC FUN DAY Sunday 17th
August 2008 will be remembered as the day the sun shone in Kilbirnie !
It also happened to be the Fun Day for KCFC. A fun day festival of football
with KCFC's 7a side and 11 a side boys and girls teams all taking part
was accompanied by a bouncy castle and slide, beat the goalie, the NAL
Activator, bottle stall, face painting, Kilbirnie town initiative stalls
and the ever popular burger kitchen and beer tent which went down a storm
in the heat. With over 200 kids taking part and lots
of folk out enjoying the sunshine, it was a fantastic occasion and thanks
go to all who put in the effort to make the day a success. Thanks also
to Hugh and Billy in the pavillion for putting up with us as we tried
to set things up and being on call all day long.

get a comment like this:-
"thanks

all had one of the best days out ever and that he,d like to thank everyone
involved. "

TRIUMPH
KCFC Ladeside
Lions were invited by Alba Thistle Boys Club to play footy as part
of their 'fun day' which was held on Sunday 3rd August. Mixed weather
throughout
the day , roasting hot one minute, hail stones the next!! but it didn't
deter anyone, from young to... mature players too.
The Lions played two teams, Alba Thislte & East End Boys Club, we
didn't keep
scores as it was for fun, but were declared the overall winners &
presented with the Accord Hospice Cup, in memory of Flora O'Neil,
(donated by Mrs O'Neil's family, a former resident at the hospice).
All the kids received a medal too. The Captain on the day Liam Cairns
was asked to
collect the trophy,and the photo shows Liam holding the cup
The Lions would like to thank Mr Phil McGrath for the invitation in
the first instance. We are honored & humbled and will be for some
time. It was also good to get the chance to play teams from a
different league/area, "it keeps you on your toes".
