Soccerscene
BUNCLODY LOST one of its finest gentlemen last week with the sad passing of Ronnie Moorhead of Irish Street.
His legacy will live on in the memories of the people who knew him well for a long number of years.
He served on our committee for many years. He has always been a friend to the club since and all our members would like to pass on our condolences to the family.
Ronnie’s grandsons now play with the club. As a mark of respect we moved the trials for u8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 boys and girls from Saturday 17th to Saturday 24th July. They will commence from 2 to 5 p.m on Church Road.
We also moved the race night from 17th July to Saturday 24th July.
It will take place in the hotel starting at 9 p.m. It should be a good craic so please come along and enjoy yourself.
The Summer Camp starts on August 9th and there are still some places left, so if your child wishes to be part of it, book them in with Gertrude on 087-6847698. It’s the same number if you want to book in a birthday party.
