The Under 15s were in fine form, when they scored seven without reply against local neighbours, Northend Utd Youth, with braces each from Jamie Houston and Thomas Campbell. They then set off for Southport last weekend to compete in the Southport Super Cup.

The Under 12s continued their good run in to the end of the season with a 3-2 win over Ridgeway Rovers as they chase runners up spot in the Premier Division of the National League with Linfield already crowned Champions.

The following day the team were given a coaching session at the Stoke Academy by coaching staff before heading to the Premiership fixture with Tottenham Hotspur and meeting several 1st team Stoke players prior to the game getting autographs and ‘selfies.’

On Wednesday night Carniny Youth U11’s took part in their annual sponsored walk, with the McLarnon’s Ramble Inn sponsoring the event.

The team would like to say a special thank you to the McLarnon family for their generous support of the event, and providing tea/coffee for the parents after. They would also like to thank the club, the players, the parents, and the PSNI who all contributed to the success of the event.
