CONGRATULATIONS

All at Northend United would like to congratulate Aodhan Tolan and Niall Swann on their performances for Wakehurst FC against Cliftonville FC in the recent WASP Solutions Round 2 Cup Match.

Both players were members of last season’s highly successful U17 team and both have made an immediate transition to Irish League Football with no problems.
