With both the U10s and U11s playing in the north west-based in the next few weeks, it was the turn of the U11s to raise some funds to help with the cost of participating, when they were involved in a sponsored climb of Slemish at the weekend.

Joe Kidd’s young team are looking forward to their first adventure in the Maiden City and the coaches, players and a number of parents all were involved in the climb on Saturday.

In what was another huge success story, Northend’s Open Nights attracted a large entry of players for the new season in what is looking like it could be one of the biggest years in the Club’s history.

Parents and players alike were treated on the Junior Open Night to a series of drills from the Coerver coaching manual, applied by the Club’s numerous Coerver Youth Diploma and UEFA B-Licence coaches.
