Report on 2007/2008 Season
Our boys played competitive 11-a-side football for the first time in Season 07/08 and had a very encouraging first season.
Our season kicked off with the Annual 9-a-side Apex Tournament and our boys finished in 2nd place and unbeaten in their section. We entered the Under 10 George Best Castlereagh Youth League and, against some stiff competition, finished the season 6th with a league record of Played 25, Won 12, Drawn 4 and Lost 9.
We entered several other mini tournaments most notably winning the Newtownards 7-a-side Invitational and the Loughside Invitational Tournament and also making the quarter finals of the end of season George Best Youth League tournament going out on penalties.
Well done to our entire squad who worked really hard this season, every player improving significantly.
