25 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE |
Kilwinning Sports Club is proud to announce that we have been honoured with the SFA Merit Award at this year’s SFA Grassroots Football Awards — a prestigious recognition celebrating 25 years of excellence and commitment to our community.
This award is a testament to the dedication, passion, and teamwork that have built our club from humble beginnings into the thriving community institution it is today.
We were proudly represented at the ceremony by members from across our teams and leadership
KSC Kilwinning Rangers Youth Pathway: Bob Martin
Kilwinning Rangers FC: Kevin Kelly & John McGowan
Eglinton: Ally Drummond
Dirrans Athletic: Hugh Wallace & Brian Nelson
Club Trustees: Grant Archer, Alan McAlpine & Jim Hodge
Club Development Officer: Colin Hunter
This recognition belongs to every volunteer, coach, player, and supporter who has given their time, energy, and enthusiasm to make our club what it is.
It was especially fitting that Mr. Jim Hodge, our longest-serving trustee and one of the driving forces behind the club’s creation more than 25 years ago, was there to accept the award. This marked Jim’s final official duty as a trustee before stepping down to spend more time with his wife Debbie and family — though we know we’ll still see him supporting from the sidelines, especially cheering on his grandson in our 2013 team.
Jim’s contribution to Kilwinning Sports Club is immeasurable. Alongside Jim McCubbin, Jim Fleeting, and many other passionate football men from Kilwinning, he helped shape the club into what it is today.
Jim’s legacy is the club itself — and it was an honour for everyone involved to share this special moment and celebrate the recognition of all that he and our volunteers have achieved.

About KSC
We once had a dream that we played football on our own pitch with drainage, floodlights and dugouts. In 1999 this dream started to become a reality when the S.F.A suggested it to North Ayrshire Council. Our dream was alive…
No one could have predicted the success story that followed. After many meetings, Kilwinning Community Sports Club was formed. Sixteen representatives of the towns youth and amateur teams took a gamble in March 2000; they got together to form one club and to improve the training and playing facilities in Kilwinning.
The main office bearers from the newly formed management committee drove the club forward and negotiated a lease from the council for Pennyburn Playing Fields. We had our own pitch. To be precise, we had two elevens and two sevens plus a huge lake with no floodlights or dugouts. The small and basic pavilion was in need of major improvements and the pitches were in very poor condition.
The club now speaks for itself, just look at the football pitches and Astroturf training facilities, leisure path, tennis facility and fitness suites to see what’s been achieved in terms of facility improvement.
What is not evident is the remarkable achievement of the people behind the scenes. We got together, we worked together, and we built it together for our community.
We built Kilwinning’s very own “Field of Dreams”
