Fantastic day at our funday on Saturday to round out the 2025/26 season for our young eagles. And what a season it was. Great to see how well all the age groups have done and how the teams and players have developed this year. Finishing the year today as they’ve done all season enjoying themselves spending time with their friends. Well done to them all this year.

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it and to those that couldn’t. Your support all year for the players and coaches is what makes the club.
Thanks to all the volunteers today and throughout the season and committee members who work unnoticed all year behind the scenes to keep everything running so smoothly.

Fantastic week to close out training for the season with everyone coming together from players to coaches to parents and friends of the club completing the mighty Head to Head sponsored challenge.

Surpassing 111 miles of running in total and we ran so much we actually ended up somewhere in the Atlantic. So a big well done to all our Eagles for the great effort.

A big thank you too to all the sponsors for your kind donations in supporting the kids and the club. It is gratefully appreciated and a huge help to what we can continue to offer as a junior academy to your young ballers.

Antrim tournament last week for 2018s. In group of 5 teams we managed to win 2, draw 1 and lose 1 to qualify out of the group to the final. Unfortunately we lost out to Northend Utd in the final.

But boys were buzzing to reach the final and finish runners up in the tournament. All played amazing. 🦅

Mixed day for the 2019s at the Antrim tournament

We won 2 and lost 2, finishing 3rd in our group & missing out on a final by just 1 point.

3 of our 7 players stepped up from the 2020s & didn't look out of place.

All the boys did themselves proud.

Well done eagles 🦅 ⚽️

*2019s 5 vs 10 Shankill Juniors*
*4v4 Fonacab league*
*Junior Park, Belfast*
*30/05/26 - 10:00*

The 2019s played an exciting and competitive match but were beaten 10–5 by a strong Shankill Juniors team.

The first two periods were very close, with both teams battling hard. The boys showed great effort and teamwork, but a few late goals meant Shankill Juniors pulled ahead to win.

There were some good goals from our team, with Theo scoring a hat-trick, Harry adding one, and Rian also getting on the scoresheet.

James was named Player of the Match for his solid defensive work, making lots of important tackles and helping the team at the back. Leo also worked hard, supporting attack and defence.

Well done to all the boys for their effort ⚽🦅
