Under 8 & 10 – Both these sides travelled to Latton on Saturday morning last for challenge games against the locals. On a fine sunny morning for football and despite a few families away on holidays we had 28 players with one Under 10 side and 2 Under 8 teams. In the under 8 games we had a younger development team playing as one team and an older 8 year olds on the other team. Both sides performed very well and they continue to improve with each outing. Our Under 10 side also put on a fine display against a good Latton outfit which was ideal preparation for the upcoming tournament in Cavan. Thanks to the Latton club for the games and to all our players who turned up in such great numbers. Again a big thanks to all our coaches who give up so much of their free time to look after all our juvenile teams.
Under 10 – We have been invited to take part in the Gowna tournament in Cavan which takes place on Saturday week September 6th. It will be an early start that morning as we will be heading off shortly after 8am. More details next week.
Sympathy – the club would like to offer sympathy to David Millar and his family on the death of Hughie Millar

Over 600 photos will be on display some that were displayed last year while others are now only seeing the light of day. This Friday night from 7 to 9 and Sunday from 12 to 4 will be your last chance to see them on display in the community centre. After that they will be put into albums. A DVD of the photos can also be purchased. An ideal present for Christmas!
