NCAFC fundraising night a big success

Newry City AFC held a very successful fundraising event in the Mardyke Suite in the Canal Court Hotel on Saturday last.

Many of the first team squad were present along with team management and management committee members. Highlights of the evening included a raffle and the auction of autographed soccer, rugby and GAA jerseys along with a pair of Tyson Fury’s boxing gloves. The raffle prize, an overnight stay in the Carrickdale Hotel, was won by Mary McNally.

The club’s new playing kits were given their first airing and these were well received by the large audience. To mark the launch, one of the club’s most loyal fans, Daniel Murphy,was presented with one of the new jerseys.

Further fundraising events are planned to help raise the club profile in Newry and it is hoped that these will be supported as enthusiastically as Saturday’s event. The success of Saturday’s event was largely down to the hard work of Declan McParland who was assisted by the club’s Commercial Manager Gary Wilson. Newry City AFC take this opportunity to thank Declan and Gary as well as all those who turned up for what was a great night. A special word of thanks to the fantastic Showtime who provided the music, to the Canal Court for providing their facilities and to those who provided the auction items.

Youth Development Officer offically announced

Newry City AFC is delighted to announce the appointment of Conlon Morrison as its new Youth Development Officer.

Conlon Morrison

Conlon is a former youth international and played for Bessbrook, Dungannon Swifts and Windmill Stars during his career. He was part of the Windmill Stars panel that won the Junior Cup along with Senior Team manager Darren Mullen.

Conlon is currently involved with the U13 team and has recently set up the new skills school which runs on Friday night. As part of his role he will be responsible for the formation of new teams at each age group ensuring the proper coaching staff are in place.

“I am delighted to have someone of Conlons knowledge and capabilities on board at the club”, said Senior Team manager Darren Mullen.

“I’ve known Conlon for the past 25 years and was lucky enough to play in the same team as him. His enthusiasm and passion for the role have already shone through and he has made some very good progress in the short time he has been in the role.

“As with the Senior team things will be done in the right manner with the correct people on board and hopefully with Conlons assistance we will have a regular feed from youth level right through to the senior squad.”

Newry City AFC presents ‘Octobeard’

During the month of October the Newry City AFC senior squad, management, coaching staff and some supporters are taking part in ‘Octobeard’ – which requires them to go unshaven for the full month! This is to raise money for Barry Trainor’s ‘Children of Africa’ fund.

Barry is a former youth coach with the club and has been doing tremendous work for the charity over the past six years.

Senior Team Manager Darren Mullen was only too happy to help Barry in his quest for funding.

“I’ve known Barry a while now and he’s one of the nicest lads you could meet. What he does within this charity is absolutely incredible and if we can help in any small way then it will certainly be worthwhile.

“It’s also good for team spirit within the squad and I’m sure there will be plenty of banter along with a few dodgy looking characters over the next month. The lads had no hesitation in agreeing to the idea which shows the unity within the group. Hopefully people will contribute to the cause.”

The rules of ‘Octobeard’ are simple! You grow out your beard in the month of October. If you already have hair on your face, you have to shave it clean and start fresh. You then do everything you can to get donations rolling in!

All players, coaches and supporters taking part will have a sponsor form from now until the end of October with the aim to raise as much funds as possible for Barry and his charity. Please give generously as Barry will be returning to Africa to work voluntary with disadvantaged children.

Make sure to keep an eye out on our website for regular updates on how the ‘unshaven’ are coping with the challenge.
