A Milestone for Kingston Stockade FC
Kingston Stockade FC has clinched a playoff spot for the first time in three years, sending a wave of excitement through the club's growing fan base.
The team is set to face Kensington SC on July 11 and Met Oval Academy on July 15, with tickets priced at $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12.
Head coach Jamal Lis‑Simmons says the squad's depth and momentum are evident, even as they navigate injuries to key players such as Davis Barnes.
Competing in a national league that spans more than 50 teams across the Fourth Division of the U.S. soccer pyramid, Stockade FC recently completed its inaugural season in the newly formed competition, having left the National Premier Soccer League two years ago.
The club captured the regular‑season title in the North Division of the Northeast Conference of The League for Clubs, underscoring its rapid rise.
Kensington SC arrives with an 0‑8 record in the South Division, while leading scorer Davis Barnes will miss the remainder of the season due to a season‑ending injury. Meanwhile, SUNY Ulster alumnus Modou Badjie, a solid contributor this year, is listed as nursing an injury.
The upcoming matches not only promise competitive soccer but also highlight the club's deep roots in the local community, with fans rallying around a shared passion for the sport.
