“It’s great to see that the group have been able to put it to good use in fundraising for the July 11th Community Festival. “This year’s festival promises to be a great one and it is truly a credit to the group in organising it.”
Terri added: “This was a great way for the group to raise funds for the children’s ‘goodie bags’ for the festival on Wednesday and I can’t thank Cllr McCarthy enough for getting us the top.
“Congratulations to the winner in getting this piece of local football history. Now to look forward to a great Community Festival and a peaceful Twelfth celebration.”
