💙 A MESSAGE OF SUPPORT FOR EUNAN 💙

We’re sending our love, support and very best wishes to our former youth player, Eunan Curry, who is only 17 years old, as he begins treatment for lymphoma.

Eunan was a valued member of our talented 2009 squad, progressing through the age groups and into our U20s before leaving to focus on his hurling. During his time with us, he was also selected to represent the County Antrim SuperCup NI squad, where he played a pivotal role in their 2023 SuperCup campaign, scoring the decisive penalty to help secure their place in the final.

Now, Eunan faces a different kind of battle, one away from the football pitch, as he begins his chemotherapy journey. Throughout this challenging time, Eunan and his family are showing incredible strength, and we want them to know that they have the full support of their football family behind them.
In a wonderful gesture, Eunan has also set up a GoFundMe to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, giving back to the organisation supporting him and his family during this difficult time.
We would encourage everyone in our football family to join us in wishing Eunan the very best of luck with his treatment and to show their support by contributing to his fundraising efforts, if they are able to.

Eunan, everyone at the club is thinking of you and your family. We’re right behind you every step of the way and sending you all our love, strength and best wishes for the journey ahead. 🩵
