Todays Fixtures (17/11/12)

The 1sts travel to the same opposition as last weeks 2-0 defeat in the third round of the Irish Cup against Lisburn Rangers. Lets hope they gain some revenge after last weeks disappointment. Kick-off is at 1.30pm.

The 2nds are also in cup action today. This time in Round 1 of the Templeton Cup away to St Oliver Plunkett II. A good performance and display should see us into Round 2.

That leaves The Albion playing their first league game at The Millbridge for sometime. The opposition – Strangford IIs who are currently just 1 point ahead in the league sitting in 6th position. Kick-off is at 2pm.

Todays Fixtures (10/11/12)

The 1sts are away to Lisburn Rangers in the league.

The 2nds also are in league action at home to St Teresas YC II’s – kick off 2pm at The Millbridge.

The Albion take on Saintfield AYC II’s at home (Drumaness). With only 1 point separating both teams in the table this will be prove to be a very tight game.

Best of luck to all 3 teams today and lets hope we all see big W’s by 4pm.

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.
