Newrycityafc.co.uk caught up with City boss Darren Mullen earlier today, who had this to say about the trials:

“This is a great opportunity for players to show their talents and get a chance to play for Newry City AFC. We added 7 players from last years trial game to the senior squad which proves it is a worthwhile exercise. If you are good enough and are willing to commit to the philosophies we are instilling at the club then it is a chance not to be ignored.”
