Members from the Ballymacarrett GSC returned to Nijmegen (Holland) last weekend, to celebrate the fifth anniversary of their first meeting with their now good friends, the Nijmegen Fanatics.
Thomas Holland of the Ballymac shared his thoughts on the trip:
"The Nijmegen Fanatics greeted the Ballymacarrett GSC in Schiphol airport, the best way they could by arriving in the NEC Nijmegen team bus to pick us up.

Glentoran Women recently hosted their Annual Awards Night at the The Oval.
This was a significant occasion as the players and coachiong staff celebrated this season's magnificent treble of cup wins with the Irish Cup, County Antrim Cup and League Cup. All three cups were on show. There was a excellent attendance of players and their parents who enjoyed the superb food and the presentation of awards.
Supporters may have noticed the advertising banner in front of the Railway Stand, stating simply “Christ Our Saviour”. This was erected by an organisation called Gospel Goal. The group has erected banners or pitch side boards at several Irish League stadia, including those of Ards/Bangor, Ballinamallard United, Ballymena United, Carrick Rangers, Cliftonville, Coleraine, Crusaders, Glenavon, Linfield, Newry City and Portadown. They are also prominent on the scoreboard at Ibrox Stadium.
The County Antrim Shield Semi-Final against Cliftonville on Wednesday 20th November KO 7.45pm at Solitude will be a ticketed match.
Due to limited availability, we have to implement our ticket sales policy. Tickets will therefore go on sale from the Glentoran Superstore on Thursday 14th November as follows:
