Due to a high number of spectators expected, may we please ask all Newry City AFC supporters to park in Greenbank at the Warrenpoint end of the ground. Newry Supporters MUST enter the ground via the MAIN GATES on the home side. Please be aware the main cark park is out of bounds for spectators as normal.
Many Thanks,

Newry City AFC are delighted to welcome Marty McGuigan back to The Showgrounds as our Club Academy Manager. With a history both as a player, coach and scout Marty will bring a strong portfolio to the position, a fact not lost to Manager Darren Mullen. “To have Marty on board is a massive coup for the club. He is a perfect fit for what we are trying to do in terms of attracting the best players and coaches to the club. He was the man who got me involved in coaching and I know he will leave no stone unturned in making sure we have the best possible academy. It’s vital that we always have that local heartbeat in our senior team and I’m sure Marty is the best man to ensure we have a continuous flow of the best local talent. It’s an exciting time for the club with plenty of work going on behind the scenes and having an experienced knowledgeable Academy Manager of this stature adds to that.”
Marty commented “For any club to be successful it’s imperative that the correct structures are in place. The club has already got people on board who are tremendously capable and going forward I will ensure that the correct recruitment at all levels takes place so that Newry City develops as an Academy and as a Football Club with strong links to the local community.”

Newry City AFC are delighted to announce our new partnership with the Southern Regional College. Via this partnership we have welcomed HND Media student Michael Canavan to the club as our new Newry City AFC TV Operator.
Club Press Relations Officer Laura Hillen commented “It is fantastic to have Michael on board. Having match footage is not only a vital tool to aid player analysis for our management team but also helps promote both the football club and our sponsors that do so much for us through our online match highlights. Ally McKenzie & Tommy Harris have made a great platform for Michael to build on and he has already shown in his first few weeks at the club that he is capable of doing so. We are also delighted to give Michael the opportunity to develop his portfolio for his studies”.
At Newry City AFC we are absolutely delighted to hear that our Charity Partners, Southern Area Hospice will be partnering with Norbrook Laboratories Ltd for their 50th anniversary celebrations, with their 50 for 50 employee fundraising campaign.
Norbrook employees are organising a number of fundraising events with the aim to raise £50k which will be matched by an equivalent donation from the Company. To help them on their way to their target, a few members of the fundraising team will be attending our Bet McLean League Cup Match v Portadown FC on Tuesday 30th October – any donations would be greatly appreciated.
Southern Area Hospice Services patients will benefit greatly from the money raised from this campaign.
We would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Norbrook on their 50th Year and wish them many more successful years in business.
