The Under 18s were scheduled to play Markethill Swifts away this Saturday but this still has to be confirmed by the Juvenile League during the week.

The Under 10s and Under 8s fixtures will appear on the clubs facebook page on Thursday afternoon. The Cubs Mini Soccer is on at Havelock Park from 10-11am on Saturday and caters for all boys and girls from P1-P7.

SEMI FINAL DERBY - Banbridge Rangers will play Moneyslane in the Semi Final of the Alan Wilson Cup after their derby rivals managed to overcome Hanover at Cheney Park in the quarter finals on Saturday past. After the bumper crowd at the previous meeting all eyes will be on a rematch to see if Moneyslane can get revenge or if Banbridge Rangers can make it to the final to defend the title that they currently hold. The match will be scheduled in early March with Moneyslane having home advantage.
