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
