Fun Day for youngsters

The local club has had two very successful years. Founded in 2011, Lisburn United has gone from strength to strength with over 80 members, both boys and girls, with ages ranging from 5-13 years old.

The club is part of the Grass Roots Programme run by the IFA and are very proud to have received their Club Accreditation which was presented by Gerry Armstrong and Pat Jennings.

In May, the club were represented by two of their teams, the Under 10s and Under 11s, who were entered into a tournament in Wales. Both teams played brilliantly, with the Under 11s getting to the final undefeated.

Lisburn United would like to thank their sponsors McDonalds Sprucefield, for providing their boys with two new kits for the tournament. The newly appointed Lisburn Mayor Margaret Tolerton and Rita Frost, Manager of McDonalds Sprucefield paid a visit to the Fun Day, to show their support at the very successful Fun Day/Open Day at Laurelhill Playing Field. There was a fantastic turn out despite the weather, recruiting many new players. The club would like to thank everyone that has supported them over the last two seasons.
