NCAFC Five a Side Tournament
At training on Wednesday night the players swapped shuttle runs and passing drills for a Christmas five (or six!!) aside tournament. With bragging rights and selection boxes at stake every ball was keenly contested.
The tournament ended with Ryan Rockets and Shealans Stars in joint last place winning two and losing four of their six games.
At the other end of the table Kevins Kickers and Brians Bombers both set on four wins and two defeats.
Kevin McArdles team winning bragging rights with a superior goal difference.
Although Mark Patton was the happiest man on the night having secured his favourite M&M selection box it was Mark Hughes that secured the Player of the Tournament award.

Raymonds funeral mass will take place on Monday 14th November at 12pm in Newry Cathedral.
