Checkbar United AFC, Westfield Park, Denny (2026)

CLUB STATEMENT 🇪🇪

All good things must come to end🥲

Unfortunately, due to dwindling numbers and declining availability, we have made the difficult decision to fold the club.

When we started this project 4 years ago, we didn’t ever think we’d reach the levels we have. We can look back on a successful and enjoyable four years in which we won the FCSAFL League Cup and reached the finals of the East District Cup amongst other achievements.

Checkbar United AFC was established in 2020 as a vessel for a group of teenagers to continue playing football after the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed our final season as boys club players. We’re proud to say that we have helped our players transition into adult football with some now even playing professionally or semi-professionally.

We lost our second ever official match 14-1. Within three years, we beat that same team with a number of the same players. That’s just one example of how far our club and players have come in a relatively short space of time.

Our time on the pitch may have come to end, but we have strengthened and created friendships and relationships with members of our local community that will last a lifetime.

We’d like to thank all of our sponsors who have supported us over the years. Without their help, our dream would not have been possible.

A big thank you must also go to everyone who has played for us, served on our committee, or been a member of our coaching staff. We hope you enjoyed the journey as much as we have.

The amazing memories we have made both on and off the pitch will never be forgotten.

Thank you and goodbye,
Club founders,
Adam Binnie & Aidan Feighan

Checkbar 5-2 Coltness

Johnny H⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
Dougs⚽️

MOTM: Johnny H

We progress into the fourth round of the Scottish with a convincing win over visitors Coltness.

Dougs was the man to open the scoring again when he converted from a Keigan delivered corner. Debutant Johnny H then opened his Checkbar account with a brilliant curling effort into the bottom right from just outside the area then added his second before halftime heading home from a Benson cross. We let Coltness back into the game just before the half after a mistake at the back.

Johnny then completed his hat trick in the second half taking the ball out the air and slotting it home below the keeper. The visitors pulled one back with a great effort from range then we completed the scoring when Johnny scored from a 70+ yard Manson assist.

All the best to Coltness for the rest of the season & thanks for coming back to the First Down after the game🤝

We progress to the next round of the Scottish with an emphatic win over visitors Kirkcaldy.

Plenty positives today with goals from all over the team, notably for Rab, Ben, Ciaran, Frazer and Big Cal getting their first goals of the season. Debutant goalkeeper TJ kept a clean sheet between the sticks and the lads put in a solid effort despite us only having the one sub today.

Credit to Kirkcaldy who were a good group of lads who worked hard for the 90 minutes and left in good spirit, all the best for the season🤝

Tricolorul FC 2-2 Checkbar

Dougs⚽️
Manson⚽️

MOTM: Dougs

A poor performance today through at St Ambrose leaves us with a draw against a well organised Tricolorul side.

On his return to the team Robbie swung in a dangerous corner which debutant Dougs put over the line early on followed by the home side scoring twice before the break.

Manson continued his golden boot push when he headed in another well delivered Robbie cross from a free kick to level the score.

The two goal scorers put in a solid shift at the back as Tricolorul put on some pressure before they had a man sent off and the game went flat when we went down to ten men ourselves through injury.

All the best to Tricolorul🤝

Checkbar 4-2 Cumbernauld United Amateurs

Mojo🎩
Neil⚽️

MOTM: Keigan

Yesterday we were at home to Cumbernauld Utd in the league looking to keep our winning start to the season going.

A game where it felt like we could’ve played all afternoon and not scored we were eventually punished by the visitors when they took the lead mid way through the second half.

The Cumbernauld goalie probably set the record for most saves we’ve seen made in a game but it didn’t last forever as Mojo announced his return to the team with a brilliant finish following a Jamjoe through ball in behind the defence.

Neil was the only man on the bench and proved again after his introduction why he’s the super sub when he set up Mojo for his second and then found the back of the net himself after being played in from a brilliant bit of play down the left from Ben W and Feighan.

Cumbernauld did have chances on the break which forced some big saves from Wilson and some great defending from Manson and Mushet before they eventually pulled one back at the death & some madness at the back in the closing seconds of the game allowed Mojo to claim his hat trick.

All the best to Cumbernauld🤝

Checkbar 7-1 Cottars Bar F.C

Manson🎩
Danny⚽️⚽️
Mushet⚽️
Robert⚽️

We travelled to Rosyth today to play our first game of this seasons Scottish Cup.

Knew we’d be in for a tough tie heading through with just enough bodies for a team and playing on an awful surface.

The game started off scrappy with neither team able to play a lot of football before we started to find space in behind which led to us winning successive corners which were delivered expertly by Ben W, the first of which was headed home by Mushet and the second powered home by Danny who strolled it in midfield today. He continued his great start to the game winning the ball off his man and driving forward into the box before slotting home into the bottom corner to give us a 3-0 lead. Cottars replied before the break when they managed to force the ball over the line following a free kick situation.

The second half continued in the same fashion and we restored our 3 goal lead when Manson headed home a Jamjoe cross from another free kick. Ben W then completed his hat trick of assists sliding in debutant Robert who laced it into the back of the net. Manson then hammered a free kick from his own half in the direction of super sub Neil which ended up landing in the back of the net. Neil was adament he got a touch on the way in but had no hard feelings with Dean as he then whipped in a perfect delivery from a corner for the big man to complete his hat-trick from centre half.

Not the best conditions today but the boys stuck together and got us into the next round with an impressive performance💪🇪🇪

All the best to Cottars for their season🤝

Checkbar 2-0 Mill United AFC

Kyle H⚽️
Ben W⚽️

MOTM : Robbie C

We begin our Airdrie and Coatbridge sunday amateur football league season with a 2-0 win at home to Mill🏆

We created plenty chances in the opening stages but struggled to convert until debutant Kieran won a penalty after rounding the goalie and Kyle H stepped up to slot it into the bottom corner.

Robbie C had a great game back in Checkbar colours and made his mark when he played a quick free kick behind the defence which allowed Ben McW to deliver to the back post for Ben W to volley home and score his first of the new season.

On another day we could’ve had 5 or 6 but credit to Mill who had good chances of their own and would’ve scored if it wasn’t for some solid defending from the makeshift defence of Jamjoe, Callum H, Mushet, Feighan & in particular Wilson who made some wonder saves between the sticks.
