Club statement: Sam Lockhart steps down

Ballynahinch United is sad to announce that Sam Lockhart has resigned as first team coach. 

Sam took on the role in December 2025 after helping out with the Swifts from October, and led preseason this summer ensuring the players were fit for the start of the season.

We would like to place on record our thanks to Sam for his commitment and dedication.

Sam will continue in his role as Ballynahinch Youth U16 manager providing a pathway to senior football.
