Kirkby United F.C. is an amateur Football Club based in the South Cumbrian village of Kirkby-in-Furness. The earliest known photo of the village team dates from 1906-07. This makes this season 2006-07 our Centenary year.
In order to celebrate the fact we had a Tour to Malta in April of this year 2007. We took a party of 30, 14 over- 40 players indeed 7 are over-50(our senior squad is pictured left), 9 of our current first team squad and various past and present officials. We were the guests of Floriana.F.C. a Maltese Bank of Valletta Premier League team.
The tour was a great success and the hospitality shown to us by the Maltese was First class.
This is the second time we have 'played in Europe' as part of the Millennium celebrations in 2000 we had a tour to Italy.We played in a mini-tournament in Formigine, a small town not far from Modena. Again our hosts made us most welcome.
