Our Firsts exited the Marshall Cup yesterday after a competitive game with Dromara Village Thirds went all the way to penalties. 2-2 after extra time with goals from Jordan McKinstry and Chris Sharma ⚽️ Dromara then won the shootout 5-4.

Our Reserves lost 5-1 in a friendly against Lemons with Jeff Woods on the scoresheet, though the scoreline wasn't a true reflection of the game which was a worthwhile fixture for both teams 🤝

Our Swifts drew 2-2 in a friendly against Dromara Village Swifts with goals from two young players, Archie Knott and Jamie Dumigan, on an encouraging afternoon for our Swifts management 👏

We're pleased to welcome new signing Matthew Hamilton to the club! 🤝

Local teenager 'Matty Ham' joins from Lurgan Town where he played most of his youth football, and has already proved to be a useful addition for the 'Cloney, featuring in a few different positions throughout pre-season.

Brilliant to have UEFA A licence coach, and good friend of the club, Geoff Wilson taking our training session last night! 👌

An engaging and enjoyable session as always, which we hope to see the benefit of going forward! 💪

Thanks Geoff! 👏
