Darndale FC

Darndale FC Junior has very bad news to relay to you all. Over the past few months we have been in talks with the FAI looking for help to get our club into a league for our children. We have been going for 50 years and have had our teams in the NDSL league but they have now merged with the NERL League. We met with the new league and parents and decided we would be willing to travel so as the kids would have a league, we were told we were welcome to join and we were making plans to start BUT the league informed us that they had a meeting and they would NOT travel pass exit 5 on the motorway to us. We also spoke to the DDSL league but they refused us entry as we only have 2 teams and they only take 5 teams or more.The FAI have done nothing to help so much for grassroots football they could not care less. So for this year the club is taking a break and will come back again fighting for the kids in this community to play again even stronger than we were.
We would like to thank everyone for their continued support over the years , Coaches, managers, parents, committee and most of all the children. THE FIGHT GOES ON WE ARE NOT GIVING UP ON THIS CLUB.
UP THE DALES.

Our U13s presentation last week what a sad day for these kids been playing together for years.

Darndale FC Junior are looking to host an under 10s little league tournament at the end of the month. If your club is interested can you contact our secretary Ian on 0871200352 or DM this page.
Places are filling us fast so be quick.

Venue to be confirmed.

Well done to our U13s team and their managers on winning their match this evening. A big shout out to the away side Ashbourne who played a great game of football. A big thanks to John from Parks for helping us secure temporary pitches for the rest of the season.

We were so looking forward to the return this week of our Junior football teams playing in Darndale Park but due to damage to our pitches from loose horses roaming the entire park our pitches are unplayable for the foreseeable future. All activities in the park have been cancelled in the interest of health and safety.

Darndale FC rescued a c**k and a hen that were badly injured and thrown over the railings of the clubhouse. They were nursed back to health by the lads that work in the park on a daily basis. They bought medication, food and even built a hutch from them only to arrive for work 2 weeks ago to find the hen had been killed by a fox. But this morning the lads have been left devastated to discover that the c**k has had it head cut off. How can anyone be so cruel to a defenceless animal. How are we as a club going to explain this to our teams, parkrunners and especially the children from the school and crèche that used to visit the Rockey and Dolly.
