NI Football Fund

Newry City AFC Chairman Darren Mullen has reacted to DfC’s announcement in respect of the NI Football Fund.

‘We thank DfC for progressing our project to the next stage. This is terrific news for the club which will hopefully lead to much needed further development at the ground,” said Mullen.

“There has been a lot of time and effort put into this application and it’s a credit to all those involved.

“That work will continue to ensure we have the best possible facilities for everyone in the club and the wider community”.

Martin McLoughlin, Darren Mullen and Gary Wilson

All change at Newry City

Outgoing Chairman Martin McLoughlin and incumbent Vice-Chairman Gary Wilson welcome Darren Mullen as the new Club Chairman of Newry City AFC.

Following Martin’s decision not to seek re-election to his long serving role as Chairman, NCAFC are pleased to announce that, at this year’s Club AGM, Darren Mullen has been elected unopposed as Club Chairman.

 

Darren’s affinity and passion for the club has been apparent for all to see having served as trustee and twice as first team manager since the Club reformed in 2013. We are delighted that the club will continue to be in safe hands through the challenging and, no doubt, rewarding times ahead.

The Club once again thank Martin for his loyal service as Chairman since the club reformed. He will continue as a member of the Management Committee and Development Team and has recently taken on stewardship of the club’s Academy Lottery which is due to be available online shortly, as well as via the usual outlets.

 

 

The Club will now, under Darren’s leadership, focus on the twin goals of continuing the development of the ground into a state-of-the-art facility for the community and getting back to the level of football at which everyone believes we should be playing.

 

Chairman Darren Mullen commented “I’m delighted and honoured to be voted in as Chairman of the club. “Everyone knows how much Newry City means to me and I know there is a serious amount of work to be done both on and off the pitch.

“My role is now to make sure that off the pitch is as successful as possible to bring that on-field success.

“I want to assure the Newry City fans that I will give everything I have within this role to make that happen. That process has already started and I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead along with everyone else at the club.”

Newry City AFC U15

NCAFC Academy Results Round-Up

The Newry City AFC Academy were back in action last weekend:

 

Newry City u11 -v- Foyle Harps u11 Subway NIYFA u11 plate at Lisburn Rec 1B

Newry City Goal Scorer: Karol Oleszczuk

A very tough game for Newry City u11s against a well drilled Foyle Harps u11s. The game started evenly enough with the first 15 minutes being contested in the right manner. This changed when Foyle Harps scored their first goal from a long-range effort, Newry’s players heads dropped.

Even though they still battled away and scored the 1st goal after half time though Karol Oleszczuk – they couldn’t find a way back into the game and Foyle Harps came out deserved winners.

Team: Rory O’Hagan (GK), Max McKeown, Rio Carroll (captain), Lorcan Haughey, Deaglàn Finnegan, Daìthì Gorman, Noah Kearns, Rhys Hempkin, Harry Owens, Karol Oleszczuk, Reuben Bentley-McKevitt

 

Next fixture: Newry City u11s -v- Hillsborough Boys Jets (no location has been given yet for the fixture)

 

Newry City AFC U15s v Newcastle Saturday 19 October Barbour 2

Newry hit the ground running scoring inside the first 2 mins with a well takin goal from Daniel Linden (1st game of the season due to an injury).

Soon after that, Ronan McCann got the 2nd goal to settle down the game, they started to relax and play with freedom.

Newry scored with only a few minutes remaining in the first half, Daniel again getting on the end of some good work from the Newry midfield players. 3-0 at half time.

2nd half started again with Newry coming out the more confident with 2 early goals from Jamie Franks and Frankie Bradley.

Newcastle got 1 back after that, a great strike from well outside the box.

Newry dominated play and goal scoring opportunities hitting 3 more goals courtesy of Jamie Franks Jacob Toner, and Daniel completing his hat trick.

After a few hard weeks, it was good for the boys to get back to winning ways.

Hard to point out a single outstanding player when they all played so well as a team.

 

Next fixture: Newry City u15s -v- Crewe United 2010 Friendly at Ballymacoss 1 (Lisburn) 26/10/2024 9.30am
