The tradition continues - Kildare's is the early house and your Boxing Day soccer headquarters.After the confinement and tiring etiquette of Christmas Day, the prospect of soccer on Boxing Day offers something of a refuge for Soccer Fans. An opportunity to escape the family, the simmering tensions and the dinner table strife, and breathe a sigh of relief, Boxing Day games are a tradition that we hold dear.
A national holiday, the day after Christmas (also called St. Stephen’s Day in Ireland) has come to be known as Boxing Day. The origin of its name is largely unknown. One theory suggests the date was a day off for servants who would receive a Christmas box from their employers to take home to their families.
The tradition of soccer on Boxing Day dates to 1860, when the world’s oldest and second-oldest clubs contested the first interclub match. Hallam and Sheffield played a game under Sheffield Rules, a 19th-century interpretation of today’s modern sport that still permitted participants to catch the ball with their hands.
Matches are traditionally played against local rivals or teams within a close proximity of each other so as to avoid supporters having to travel a long distance after Christmas Day when the train timetables are reduced.
Boxing Day is one of the best days of the year to watch Soccer with us all at Kildare's. in 2019, I was fortunate enough to has a few pints with USMNT and Manchester City Goalkeeper, and Downingtown local legend, Zach Steffen.
