Despite a disappointing season, the Amateurs did manage to reach the third round of the Irish Cup, however they couldn’t transfer their good cup form to the league. The senior side have spent the last six seasons in the Ballymena and Provincial league at both Junior and Intermediate level and cited the restrictive player registration rules within the league as one of the contributing factors for making the change. The club are looking forward to a new challenge in the NAFL.

The club would like to thank Hulls and Dunlop and Hamilton for their continued sponsorship of the team.

Any players interested in the team should contact Davy on 07791297755, with pre season due to commence on 30th June.
