DF SOCCER
DF Soccer had a very busy Q4 of 2025 with a 4 week
men's camp with high quality training and games. We
played the Irish Colleges (1-2), then we travelled to
France for a CISM challenge game (0-1), on our return
we played the Irish Amateur's (2-2) and a double header
men and women's game against the UK with the
Women's losing 0-2 despite an excellent performance
and the Men's drawing 2-2 before losing on Pens.
Despite the results not being what we wanted it was a
huge step forward for both teams in terms of progress
in terms of training and performances as we look
forward into 2026.
2026 is a huge year for DF Soccer as our men
and women's teams prepare for CISM World Cup
Qualification tournaments in Holland and Germany
respectively. We also have the Cunningham Cup in the
summer and for the first time in our history we are
invited to play in the historic Kentish Cup in September
2026. The Kentish Cup is running since 1919 post WWI
