At the start of this new season Cookstown Olympic once again extend an open invitation to any footballer who wants to take part in their pre season training so that the management and coaching staff can have an opportunity to assess their ability. Cookstown Olympic will be playing in Division One in the Ballymena Provincial League which is a very competitive league against the likes of Ballyclare Comrades Res, Desertmartin and Magherafelt SB Res, York Road, Antrim Rovers and Mallusk Athletic to name a few of the teams. There will also be a referee appointed in all matches and also a number of Ballymena Provincial cup games in this league as well as our annual entry into the Mid Ulster Shield. Anyone 18 years of age or over is more that welcome to take part.
