Hi everyone,
After a couple of weekends of weather disruption, it was great to see teams back out on the pitch across the King’s Birthday long weekend.
There is plenty happening around the club over the coming weeks.

Canteen Coordinator
We are seeking a canteen coordinator to take on the role at the end of the season.
Amelia has been our coordinator for a few years, but due to increasing commitments is unable to continue in the role. Amelia has done a fantastic job, and we thank her for everything she has done.
The canteen plays an important role in both fundraising and maintaining the strong sense of community that exists at KPFC. We will need this role filled to ensure kids and adults are well nourished and have access to beverages during the 2027 season.
If you are interested in taking on the role, please contact me directly.
RESPECT
As we move into the second half of the season, it is worth remembering that how we conduct ourselves on and off the field is just as important as the result. Whether you are a player, coach, manager, parent or supporter, we all have a role to play in creating a positive environment each weekend.
Respect for referees, opposition teams, volunteers and fellow club members should never depend on the scoreline. Thank you to the many members who continue to represent KPFC in the right way every week.
Match Day Requirements
Following feedback from referees over recent weeks, I would like to remind teams of a few match day requirements.
- Please ensure all players are wearing shin pads and the correct playing kit, including club socks.
- Shirt numbers should remain consistent throughout the season and duplicate numbers should be avoided.
- Referees have highlighted occasions where player identification for KPFC teams has been made difficult due to kit clashes (i.e. socks, shorts, old KPFC shirts), or incorrect numbering.
- For home matches, teams should also ensure a match ball and pump are available.
- Do not try and “game” the match sheet by fielding ineligible players. You will be found out, and the club will be fined.
Whilst these may seem like simple details, getting the basics right helps players, referees and opposition teams focus on the game itself. It also assists in avoiding disputes and club fines.
A thank you once again to all of the volunteers, coaches, managers, referees, parents, players and club partners (details below) who help make the club function each week both on and off the field.
