Come join the St. James’ cheering section for our Kingston Stockade Division 4 soccer team!
Enjoy a fun evening with St. James’ friends on Saturday nights at 6 pm at Dietz Stadium in Kingston. What could be better on a summer evening than friendly conversation, kids running around, food trucks, and an occasional goal to celebrate!
SAT JUNE 7 6 PM vs LIGHTHOUSE SC
SAT JUNE 28 6 PM vs ATLANTIC CITY FC
SAT JULY 12 6 PM vs BRAVEHEART SC
Many St. James’ members & friends have enjoyed attending these games recently.
Tickets are $11/adults and $6/children ages 3-12. We have found that arriving about a half hour before the game start time provides a head start on the food truck lines. You are welcome to bring water bottles and snacks. Details on games at stockadefc.com. No RSVP needed, but if you’d like to coordinate, text or call Russell Urban-Mead at 914-456-1095.
