County Medal Presentation
On January 25th we are delighted to be presenting County medals to our u15 footballers and also to our Minor/u18 Ladies Football team. It's a wonderful achievement for both teams, as County medals are hard earned and should be celebrated and treasured. The presentation to both teams will kick off at 4:30pm and we invite all families and Club Memebrs to come along and enjoy the celebrations.
