Chimney Corner FC

Our Development side opened their league campaign with an emphatic 7-0 win away to Carnlough Swifts.

Callum Stewart grabbed himself 4 goals, with Evan Donnell, Bradley Temples and Kyle Arthur getting a goal each.

A fantastic result to kick off the season, even more pleasing with a cleansheet!

Well done, lads!

The First team bowed out of the Steel and Sons Cup following a tough home defeat against a ruthless Derriaghy side. The visitors capitalised on their clinical finishing during a difficult first half for the hosts, turning just three shots on target into a commanding three-goal advantage before the break.

​The Antrim side showed great character with an improved performance after the break, pressing hard to find a way back into the contest. However, the 2024/25 Steel and Sons champions sealed the result in the 90th minute to round off a 4-0 victory. Well done to Derriaghy, and good luck in the next round.

Today also saw our Tiny House Coffee Player of the Month award go to, Oscar McClay. Boss McIlveen adds, "Well done to Oscar McClay who picks up our Tiny House player of the month award.

Oscar has worked really hard over the break and come back in great shape & has been a consistent performer in our defensive line.
Thank you again to Tiny House for supporting us."

Thank you for your support!

A new season, a fresh challenge and another opportunity for the lads to continue their development.

There is a cracking fixture in store for the First team on Saturday afternoon, as Derriaghy come to Antrim for a ToalsBet Steel ans Sons tie.

The visitors who have been celebrating successes over the last few seasons, will prove to be a great test for the Antrim men who have made a decent start to the season.

In what will be great game for the spectator, there will also be a buzz about the place with the Club also hosting a darts tournament on Saturday.

As always, refreshments will be available in the Clubhouse and at Tiny House Coffee

Another win and a cleansheet last Saturday for the First team, with a hard fought 2-0 win over Brantwood.

Conan McAuley and Adam Walker provided the goals to help claim another 3 league points. The game was another example of the whole matchday squad playing a part in the result.

With 28 goals and 3 clean sheets so far this season, we aim to improve on these numbers each week.

Next up, we host Derriaghy CC in the next round of the Steel and Sons.

Thanks again for all of your support.

Before we give an update on today's win over Brantwood, Chimney Corner Football Club is delighted to officially announce the signing of attacker, Leon Graham.

Since arriving at Allen park a few weeks ago the young forward has found the net 3 times in 3 games and will undoubtedly add further firepower to the front line.

Boss McIlveen adds, "Leon has went through a tough time with injury since he has left Cliftonville FC. We know he is a talented boy and I feel we are a good fit at this stage to get him back to his best. Leon will add goals & quality at the top end of the pitch."

Welcome to Allen Park, Leon!

On Tuesday evening the First team produced a clincial performance against a spiritied Tobermore side.

Adam Walker grabbed himself 4 on the night, with Leon Graham grabbing a brace and Jake McNeill continuing his goalscoring form to round off the scoring.

Samuel McIlveen and his management team will have been delighted with some of the football displayed last night, and will be aiming for more of the same this weekend.

Many thanks for your support!
