Preparations continue for the 2nds and 3rds

Preparations continue for the 2nds and 3rds with a series of games over recent weeks. A good performance last week saw them come back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 against a good Ballynagross  2nd side while on Saturday Castleabbey 2nds were the visitors in an entertaining game which the home side won by 4-2 with Jordan Hayes, Ross Bingham and Aaron McCaffrey [2] on the score sheet.

A further 2 friendly matches are to be played this week at The Millbridge on Tuesday 27th and Thursday 29th August. Kick off for both games will be 6.30pm so all players should meet at the club for 5.45pm.

Club memberships are now due and should be paid to the Club Treasurer as soon as possible.

Club Notes

The Swifts and Albion were both defeated in their league games at the weekend.

The Albion travelled to Hydebank for a match against Carryduff and if they had taken any of the numerous chances that came their way in the first half things might well have been very different.As it was a goal from teenager Graeme McMullan equalised Carryduff’s opener however a penalty and a late goal ruined the Albion’s day.

The Swifts on the other hand were outclassed in an away game to Greencastle Rovers with a brace of goals coming from Chris Gray.

Club Memberships are now overdue and the small number of players who have not paid should note that they must do so immediately or risk not being selected until they have done so.

The first club fund raiser of the season is currently being launched in the form of the very popular ‘Last Man Standing’ which was very successful and enjoyable last season. All monies should be paid as soon as possible.

Club Notes

The officers, players and supporters of Ballynahinch United would like to extend their condolences to the Mills Family Circle and the Drumaness Mills Football and Cricket Clubs on the untimely death of Davy Mills last week. Quite a number of Ballynahinch Uniteds current senior players had the privilege of playing with or under Davy’s management.

We would also like to remember the family of Jim Miskimmin who was a very popular photographer for our local papers covering many of United’s matches and social occasions over a long number of years.

Club Memberships for the season are now overdue and should be paid to the Club Treasurer as soon as possible.

The club would like to express its thanks to Patterson’s Electrical for sponsoring the club new polo shirts.
