2023 Kinsella Cup Fremd HS vs Palatine HS Varsity Girls Match
April 15 2023 @ 1:00 pm – Palatine High School
This event honors one of our Palatine Celtic's Co-Founders, Jimmy Kinsella. Bill Hughes, our club's additional Co-Founder is on the right. Our club's 55-year history goes all the way back to 1968 when Jimmy and Bill organized a group of Palatine neighborhood boys into the very first Celtic team. Our club is honored twice a year when Fremd and Palatine HS Boys and Girls Varsity teams face off against each other in this traditional match.

International College Showcase - Phoenix 2023
Celtic's U19 and U16 Boys teams also traveled in February, to compete in the international college showcase in Phoenix, Arizona. The U19 group, made up of 2004, 2005, and 2006 players, were bracketed in a very high division, but played well and fought hard against top-flight academy teams. The boys learned a lot and came away stronger as a group, having experienced a lot of opportunities for team cohesion and building character together.
The U16 group found some success in their first games together as a team. They won 3 games and lost 1, which was good for 5th place out of 12 teams from all over the United States. They missed the top four by a tiebreaker which came down to goal differential.
Celtic is so proud of all of these young men, who participated in fundraising to cover the team costs of traveling to an event of this quality. We gained a lot of experience on and off the field, where the players created fun memories which will last a lifetime.
Come join us at Solider Field on May 20 as the Chicago Fire FC take on Atlanta United FC! Palatine Celtic will have a reserved block of seat with discounted tickets, while having unique access to exclusive matchday experiences.
If you have any questions or would like to reserve a group of 10 or more, contact Brady Beck at 872-710-0579 or bbeck@chicagofirefc.com!
