While the pandemic forced us to postpone, the great news is the wait is finally over, and we're ready to fulfil our prize. This is a day for everyone in the parish - young and old, past and present players, families, parishioners, supporters, and even those who've never played the game. All are welcome to line out in the blue and white of Kilbrin and make a memory to last a lifetime. We'll have two hours on the pitch to enjoy, and we're currently working on plans for the day's activities and organising transport options. We'd love to hear your ideas or suggestions for how we can make the most of this incredible opportunity, so don't be shy, message us or have a chat with any of our committee members.
