We’re pleased to announce the appointment of John Young as our new first team manager, replacing outgoing manager Conor Fegan.

John returns to the club having previously guided us to back to back promotions including the NAFL 2A title, and also took the club to our very first Junior Shield final back in 2024.

We wish John all the best for his second spell at the club, which starts with a home game in the Clarence Cup this Saturday against Bangor Swifts. Let’s get a good crowd out the road on Saturday to welcome John back to the club.

The committee would like to thank outgoing manager Conor Fegan for his time and effort with the club over the last 16 months, during which time we narrowly missed out on promotion last year finishing 3rd in NAFL 1C. We wish Conor all the best for the future.

A disappointing afternoon for the firsts who go down to defeat on the road away to Tullycarnet who extend the gap over us to 4 points in the league with Malachians still topping the table.

Attention switches to cup football next Saturday as the boys are home to Bangor Swifts in the Clarence Cup.

The seconds progressed to the semi final of the Bobby Dalzell with a comprehensive win at home to Ballyvea 3rds. First half goals from Scott & Eoin put us on our way, with the pair scoring again early in the second half to put the game to bed. The Dornan brothers popped up with a goal apiece to see out the game and the lads will find out their semi final opponents during the week. All the best to Ballyvea for the remainder of the season.

It’s back to league action next weekend as the lads travel to Millbridge to take on Ballynahinch Utd Swifts.

Another brilliant weekend of youth football for the Town in Lisburn Castlereagh Junior League! The 2009s and 2017s turned on the style, the 2013 Forest boys had their first taste of 11-a-side football, and our youngest Town side put together a day they'll be talking about for a long time. And if you only read one bit, make it the 2016 Forest game — a finish with just two minutes on the clock that you have to read for yourself...

Our Under 14 girls flew the flag last weekend too, and they've been building towards this one for a while — plus an Aoife M strike that deserves its own highlight reel. 🚀 Every write-up, every scorer and every player of the week is in the full report.

Ruairi Croskery ⚽️

A big win in the league today for the firsts as they see of the challenge of a very good Shorts team. In an entertaining first half, a goal from
Karol inside 10mins put us one up before the visitors pulled one back. Further goals from Marty and Ruairi gave us a 3-1 lead but Shorts managed to find the net just before the break to make it 3-2.

The visitors scored early in the second half to setup an exciting finish, but Karol found the net with his second to put us back in front and the lads saw the game out to ensure a massive 3 points.

The big games keep coming as we’re on the road next weekend when we travel to in form Tullycarnet.

Eoin Travers ⚽️⚽️⚽️
Sean Dornan ⚽️⚽️

What a cup tie and what a performance from the seconds away to a very good Dervock side. The boys couldn’t have got off to a worse start as they went behind after 30 seconds, but in a game that had everything and was end to end, a superb header from big Sean pulled us level midway through the first half. The hosts took the lead again before Eoin tapped home to make it 2-2. Dervock scored again to make it 3-2 just before half time.

The lads came out battling in the second half and soon made it 3-3 with Eoin scoring again before the hosts were reduced to 10 men. Eoin popped up with the fourth, completing his hat trick before big Sean converted a penalty to make it 5-3 in the dying moments. Dervock grabbed another with the game almost over which setup a nervy final minute, but credit to the lads who dug in and got over the line and the name in the hat for the 3rd round.

Next up the lads face Ballyvea 3rds in the Bobby Dalzell quarter final.

Enjoy the weekend folks 💪💪
