5/2010 - The Election: Not that one, the important annual one in the K.S.F. camp to decide who will take the helm this season and who will play his side kick. Players voted a little later than normal due to 4 new players entering the squad, this gave everyone a chance to get to know everyone a little better. It was very close but BARRY SKENE #9 remains Assistant Captain and BEN KNOCK #17 just clinched the C from long time serving Captain JUSTIN BEATTIE #68. Justin has captained the team for over 4 years now and will still play a big part in the direction of the team. Ben who signed in 2007 will have his work cut out leading this lot.
5/2010 - Essen: The team are hard at work preparing for the Essen Rockets Tournament taking place at the end of May in Germany. K.S.F. will be missing new signings Peter Flynn who is injured and Micheal Smith who is expecting a baby! There is a possibility that some old K.S.F. faces may be risen from the dead to guest for the squad, nothing as yet is confirmed but you heard it here first.
5/2010 - Team Wear: In the future club members will all have Kingston Street Flyers Apparel to lounge, work out or socialise in and everyone will have flying cars. But seriously sports fans it is going to happen (not the flying cars!) here is the proof, its in pipeline, they look great so tell the club you want one and it will be done!
5/2010 - Car Stickers: The new Team Car Stickers are being produced and will be available soon for all Club members and fans. View Stickers
4/2010 - Beattie might miss Essen: Captain Justin Beattie #68 might miss the tournament due to a freak paint balling accident which left him with torn ligaments in his ankle after a fall. 5 weeks is the average time for a person to recover from such a injury but Justin is no average man... he is a hockey player so more like 8 weeks!
5/2010 - YouTube Channel:K.S.F. have now launched their very own YouTube Channel featuring interesting clips of Skater Hockey, Inline Hockey and Ice Hockey. Kingston will be adding their own footage from Tournaments as soon as possible as well as some vintage footage of the team. Check our YouTube Channel now!
4/2010 - The REAL New Kit: New Kit is on the way the kit features the original K.S.F. logo as its main chest logo. The logo was designed by OE player Eddie Edwards #99 in 1988 when the team first emerged on the scene but never actually got used and was very nearly lost. There will be a shirt with the Original Red and a Vipers version in the Green. There is also rumour of a very special goalie version but this could just be a rumour? We shall see!
4/2010 - Flynn Injured: Peter Flynn #13 has had to take a few months out due to a severe ankle injury which requires no skating. Peter who is the youngest on the squad this year and a new signing should be back before the end of the season if all goes well. The team wish him a speedy recovery.
4/2010 - Vipers 1 - Oxford 6: The game started on a real high with K.S.F. dominating the first 5 minutes and scoring first, however fitness told again, with us playing against a full Oxford team and K.S.F. only having 2 subs. To make matters worse we had a player sent off 10 minutes penalty for continuing to play while without a glove. Unfortunatly the guys heads dropped and the last 5 minutes Oxford virtually had free reign for the rest of the game. Head up and have a better game next time. Report by Gary Pollard
3/2010 - New Vipers Squad: With the start of the season came the new Viper Senior Team- with lots of players taking a change in priorities the Vipers Seniors were looking to fold – with 5 players and 1 goalie the lads
Arron, Kris, Captain Tim, Assistant Colin, New signings Drew and Dan agreed to put their hearts into a New Season and go for it.
First day of the season and the first game for KSF were the KSF Vipers Senior Green team playing Brighton at 2.15.
Tension started with 2 players missing by 2.10 – luckily the game before was delayed.
The lads started of well, with good passing and team play which allowed the first goal to be scored by Drew assisted by Tim. Once we got the feel for the play the lads couldn’t stop, Kris shooting from the half way line (only to be beaten by the goalie but plenty of shots on goal) held a strong line of defence. Drew went on to 5 more goals before half time and a goal from Colin and 2 from Dan we went into half time 9 – 0 up (they also assisted us with an own goal)
Second half saw the lads tiring but not enough for Brighton as Dan scored another then Tim broke his duck with 4 goals in the second half and more from Drew and Dan.
Drew- 6-1assist, Dan- 4-2assist, Tim- 4-1assist,Colin-2 -2assists and an OG .
Well done lads wining 17 – 1. Report By Kim Sheppard
2/2010 - Kaarst Tournament:Kingston travelled to Kaarst for the teams 6th appearance at the legendary Crash Eagles Cup held in Kaarst Germany this month. 2 other English teams were also invited both also from the Southern Association of Skater Hockey. The Oxford Blues and the Staring Frogs.
As expected the competition was of the highest standard including teams from Demark, Switzerland, Holland and Germany. Kingston finished the weekend in 9th being knocked out by the Host team in the second group stage. Every game was very close and Kingston only lost 3-2 with Swiss tournament winners Roissmaison in the early group stage. In total K.S.F. won 2, drew 1 and lost 3 Pictures and stats can be seen at the Eagles Website.
2/2010 - History Rewritten: K.S.F. records have been put straight by original founding member of the club Eddie Edwards #99. Eddie elaborated on a few sketchy areas concerning the true origins of the club and pinned down a few crucial dates. All of which can now be read on our history page. Thanks Eddie!
1/2010 - New Kit Design: Kingston's resident designer has been busy over the christmas period designing concepts for this seasons kit revamp which will be a modern thinking adaption of prevoius kits using the latest fabrics for the best look and feel. Below is footage taken from the unveilling of the 2010 concept kit shown during a friendly between K.S.F. and the Vipers last week. I personally think its very pretty!
1/2010 - K.S.F. Challenge Match: Kingston faced off against newly formed Epsom Jelly Beans for a challenge game this January. The Beans are made of no less than 5 Old School K.S.F. players and only have 8 inc. their goalie currently on the books! The team includes Paul Stenning, Shane Carol, Jack Pinkney, Kieren Pinkney and at the helm the legendary Eddie Edwards. The team plays on the basis of fun and will be in the B division of S.A.S.H. this season. That said a 7-6 win over Kingston showed with a veneer of fun they also have a lot of experience and skill! Kingston with 4 new players to fit into the lines will be arranging a grudge match soon near you!
1/2010 - All Change: Kingston can now confirm the signing of four previous AllStar players for the 2010 season. Forward Micheal Smith #15 the previous captain of thier squad, forwards Peter Flynn #13 and Peter Clements #12 (nicknames have yet to be given to the all the peters now on the team!)and finally last minute signing goal keeper Ollie Cannell #82 who also played for the Staring Frogs last year in some tournaments. Unfortunately the AllStars team had to call it a day and fold last year and it is a great shame to see any team dissappear though on this occasion it has certainly helped bolster the K.S.F. 2010 lineup! All four players play the game for the right reasons and Kingston are happy to welcome them on board.
1/2010 - Ben picks up his sticks: Ben Niblett #1, Kingstons 2009 net minder is picking up the drum sticks again. Apart from being a great goalie Ben is also a respected drummer and used to be in a very successful charting Indie band. He unfortunatley won't be able to commit to playing hockey at this time as his music career is realing kicking off again and cannot juggle both (he isn't that good with his catcher!). Kingston would like to say that we support Ben all the way espcially when he becomes famous, Then we will want free back stage passes and will probaly all stop playing hockey to become the roadies for the band which will be named KSF!
1/2010 - Flying Start: Kingston are off to a flying start being invited to three European tournaments two in Germany (Karrst & Essen) and one in Holland. K.S.F. are delighted to be invited to such prestigeous events which argubly are some of the best in the Skater Hockey world. More details coming soon.
1/2010 - Carol Trades: Long serving Irish player and veteran has moved clubs to newly formed Jelly Beans team. Shane Carrol (formerly Lynch) had played for Kingston since the first K.S.F. Jnr team formed. Shane didnt actually kit up in 2009 though the door was always open and K.S.F. are very happy to hear he is playing again and wish him the best of luck.
1/2010 - Brayne Hangs them up: K.S.F. Rookie Sonny Brayne has decided to stop playing indefinatley. Hopefully Sonny will be back on the wheels soon as he is one of the countries true potentials for the future, playing for Great Britain Jnr's and winning the league's Junior Dream Team in 2008. Sonny also holds the record for the most goals scored in one game for a Kingston player so his future looked very "Sunny" Indeed! K.S.F. of course wish him all the best and hope to see him back soon.
