Younger age groups lead the way for Carniny Youth sides

Also in the Lisburn League were the Under12 s who were in fine shooting form having a high scoring win over Chimney Corner.

In the NIBFA Subway National League the Under 16s had to settle for a share of the points away to Ridgeway Rovers, the Belfast club equalising in injury time in a 2-2 draw. The U14s and 15s lost out to Dungannon Utd and Larne Youth respectively.

SUBWAY-SPONSORED KIT

The club’s U15s were delighted to take delivery of their new Subway sponsored playing kit last week.

Coach, Alex Rainey accepted the kit on behalf of the club from Subway Franchisee Jennie herald. The sponsorship deal is for all clubs at Under15 who play in the NIBFA Subway national League. By coincidence the strip is in the colours of Carniny’s partner club, Sunderland AFC Foundation of Light colours which happen to the same as Carniny’s; red and black.
