Thank you to our former employee and now Larne Football Club Manager, Gary Haveron for taking the time to call in with the Irish League Gibson Cup this afternoon. He also stopped off at our Avoniel Danderball site to catch up and get a few photos with the lads there.
Cheers Gaz and well done to you and the team again.

Big thank you to Springfield Star FC for the use of their pitch for a few weeks whilst our Shankill Danderball Group were unable to use the Leisure Centre. The facility was a perfect substitute for our weekly sessions! ⚽

A proud day as 2 former CSNer's/BCSDNer's (for those old enough to remember us as that) won awards at the NI Football Writers' Association awards. Firstly, Marissa Callaghan, who was inducted into the Juice Jar Dr. Malcolm Brodie Hall of Fame. And then Gary Haveron, who won the Eventsec Manager of the Year Award.
Congratulations you pair. Fully deserved! 👏
