We would love to thank Anne from Carrick Tescos; Roy and Angela from Vivo Oakland Park, Carrickfergus; Jill and Tash from Centra Carrickfergus; and Stephen from Eurospar Victoria Road for providing fruit and Water for the day!💧🍎 Without your generous donations we could not have kept the young people hydrated and fed!🥳
We would also love to thank Lesley and Alison from Simply Pizza for donating the Player of the Match voucher!
Also Rebecca from Dominoes Marketing and the Carrick team for providing some vouchers for prizes!🍕
Thank you to Andy, Angela and Lee from 442 Teamwear for the custom YMCA bibs, this made the day easier to create teams!🟨
Thank you to John from the IFA for donating cones and balls to be used on the day! These practical things made the day run smoothly⚽️
