We’ve had so many messages asking if the Father Phelan Tournament would return, and we’re thrilled to say it’s back after 8 years. Mark your calendars for October 4–5 at Eastgate Fields in Peterborough.

The Father Phelan has always been more than just soccer. It’s a fall tradition where tracksuits are a must, the weather is crisp, and players of all skill levels come together for one last weekend before the season ends.

We’ll also be gathering for a Saturday night social at a local brewery to keep the community spirit alive.

If your team is interested, please reach out now to reserve your spot. Sign-up fee details will be shared soon as we’re just waiting on one final approval before registration officially opens.
