⚽ BOYS ACADEMY | WE’RE BACK!

Yesterday saw some of our Boys Academy sides get their 2026/27 season underway as part of the ABC SSG programme. 🔴🟡⚫

After the summer break, it was brilliant to see the boys back where they belong, out on the pitch, enjoying their football with their teammates. 🙌⚽

A great first day back for our players and coaches, with plenty more football to look forward to over the months ahead.

Here’s to another fantastic season! ❤️💛

🏆 BOB RADCLIFFE CUP | FULL TIME

We dust ourselves down and turn our attention back to league action.

All the best to Dollingstown in the next round.

After the disappointment of Saturday, when the U19s saw their Savage Cup clash with Craigavon City abandoned due to heavy rain with Town leading 2-0, attention turns to the next challenge.

The lads are back in action on tonight, taking on TTBS Juniors U19s at Lismore College, looking to pick up where they left off and continue their strong start to the season. 🟡🔴⚫️

💛🖤 GET WELL SOON, ALFIE!

Wishing Alfie a speedy recovery after suffering a fractured metacarpal following a tackle in yesterday’s game.

A tough one to take, especially right at the start of the new season, but we know he’ll be counting down the days until that cast is off and he’s back out on the pitch! ⚽️💪

Get well soon, Alfie, we’ll see you back out there before you know it! 💛🖤

⚽ SAVAGE CUP ACTION AT THE ARENA

The lads will be looking for a strong performance as the group stage begins to draw to a close. 🟡⚫🔴

🇺🇸🏈 FROM LURGAN TOWN TO NORTH CAROLINA!

A very proud moment for everyone at Lurgan Town FC as our former player Adam McCann-Gibbs is set to make his debut for the University of North Carolina Tar Heels in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.

Adam swapped the round ball for the oval one as his sporting journey took him from football into American Football, eventually earning him the opportunity to head Stateside and join one of the biggest college programmes in the USA.

Tomorrow, he gets to pull on the famous Carolina Blue and make his debut back on home soil – under legendary coach Bill Belichick. 🏈

It’s fantastic to see a former Town player performing on such a huge stage and we know plenty around the club will be keeping a close eye on the action.

From everyone at Lurgan Town FC, congratulations Adam and the very best of luck! 💛🖤

Once a Town player, always a Town player. 👏
