St. Ouen Football Club is an amateur association football club in Saint Ouen, Jersey, Channel Islands. The club plays in yellow and blue.[1] They play at St. Ouen.[2]
History
The club was founded in 1919.[3] During the 1970's under the supervision of first team coach Richard Collinson, St. Ouen set up Jersey's first football school of excellence.[4] In 2008, St. Ouen received planning permission from the States of Jersey for a new training pitch to be built, which overturned the decision from the planning officer of Jersey to reject it because of a perceived lack of inclusiveness with the community.[5] In 2012, St. Ouen's goalkeeper, Paul Kemp scored two goals in St. Ouen's league game against Rozel Rovers. This was the first time a goalkeeper had scored twice in a match in Jersey.[6]
On 4 December 1972, St. Ouen played a friendly match against Scottish Old Firm team, Celtic at Springfield Stadium, Saint Helier.[7] It was intended as a preparation for Celtic's Scottish League Cup Final match against Hibernian, which meant Celtic played their first team which included Kenny Dalglish and Pat McCluskey.[8] Celtic won the match 11-1. St. Ouen's team on that day also included several proffessional guest players including Southampton's Jim Steele and Mick Channon.[8]
Current teams
St. Ouen have three men's teams in the Jersey Football Combination. St. Ouen also run teams at under 12, under 14, under 16 and under 18 levels.[2] They have also represented Jersey in the CI Champions League against teams from Guernsey.[9]
