The Dalkey United Champions League is only a week away.  Matches will kickoff on Sunday morning, 5 May, and the tournament will wrap up on Monday afternoon, 6 May.  

By this point, all registered players should have heard directly from their coach, who will have created a WhatsApp group for communication of game times, and expectations. If you haven’t, you will shortly.  If you don’t hear anything by mid-week, please let us know.  

We’re expecting 400 players across 40 teams to compete across various age groups, with the support of over 100 volunteers. This is set to be a spectacular event showcasing the talent and passion of our club’s football players, and a chance for our community to come together.   

Thank you, in advance to our headline sponsors Affinity Advisers.  Thanks to SuperValu Dalkey for donating all the food and soft drinks sold at the BBQ and to CaterHire for setting us up with the grills. Additionally, thank you to our club’s sponsor: Sia Partners, and pitch sponsors Mason Hayes & Curran, Gold Hat Productions, and Bel Gelato.  

One of the key factors in the success of the weekend was the number of volunteers who come forward from the coaches but as importantly from the parents and other groups within the club. We’re still looking for a few more parents to help out with the tuck shop, cooking food, and with pitch set up and tear down. Please contact Kim Fortune if you can help at admin@dalkeyunited.com.  

See you next weekend!
