Excitement is reaching fever pitch at Leixlip United as we prepare to host our annual Mini Leagues over the upcoming June Bank Holiday weekend. This year’s event promises to be the biggest Mini Leagues the club has ever hosted as up to 450 children between the ages of 5 to 12 years old will take to the field to play approximately 140 matches over 3 days.

A huge group of volunteers, young and old, is lending a hand to pull the whole event together. From stewards and referees to team managers and helpers in our shop and food stalls - it will be all hands on deck!

We are excited this year to be setting up a Media Hub in our clubhouse and some of our teenage members have volunteered to help us share the action on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

We couldn’t organise an event of this magnitude without the generous support of our local businesses. This year we are hugely grateful for the sponsorship from O’Regan Motors, Carton Retail Park, Spar - Glen Easton and Jones Engineering. A special thanks also to Lidl and Intel for their welcome donations.

So as the final touches of paint are being applied and the pitches are getting their last cut, Leixlip United is looking forward to opening its gates to the whole community from Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th June. We are encouraging families to walk to our club if possible and be sure to bring picnic chairs and blankets. Dogs are also welcome as long as they are on leads.

Finally we wish all the children who are taking part a great weekend of football! More details will follow early next week. Thanks to those who have already volunteered and if you would like to help out in any way, please fill in your details on this form and we will be in touch!
