Rec had already snapped up Jim Thompson from Newington Rangers and other notable ‘old boys’ returning to the fold are Barn duo, striker John Mathers and midfielder Rob Armstrong, along with Andrew Benson (Castle Star) and Dean Johnstone (Newington) and Neil Lammey (Islandmagee).

Kilroot have 13 games to tunnel their way to safety. However, it won’t be easy this Saturday when promotion-chasing Donard Hospital are the visitors to Castleview Road.
