Our Firsts exited the Marshall Cup yesterday after a competitive game with Dromara Village Thirds went all the way to penalties. 2-2 after extra time with goals from Jordan McKinstry and Chris Sharma ⚽️ Dromara then won the shootout 5-4.

Our Reserves lost 5-1 in a friendly against Lemons with Jeff Woods on the scoresheet, though the scoreline wasn't a true reflection of the game which was a worthwhile fixture for both teams 🤝

Our Swifts drew 2-2 in a friendly against Dromara Village Swifts with goals from two young players, Archie Knott and Jamie Dumigan, on an encouraging afternoon for our Swifts management 👏
