BUFC Notes

The Swifts game against Tollymore 2nds on Saturday was cancelled due to a waterlogged Millbridge and this weekend they hope to be back in action at home to Ardglass Colts.

A minutes silence was held at the start of the game with Dunmurry YM to remember the Stevens family on the recent death of Irene, wife of Harry and mother of Gary, Colin, Alan, Gillian and Barry. Harry, Gary, Colin, Alan and Barry were all long serving players at BUFC as is nephew Steven Jess who is a current committee member. Everyone at BUFC would like to express their sympathy to the whole family circle at this time.

The Albion had a home game in the league against Carryduff Colts on saturday however despite goals from Paul King and a first for the club from teenager Jack Shepherd they were defeated 4-2.

The Swifts had a free week.

Congratulations to Scott Brashaw and Steven Jess for organising an excellent fund raiser last Saturday night which was very successful and many thanks to all those who turned up.

Let Us Entertain You – a word of thanks.

Everyone in both the youth and senior sections of the club would like to express their sincere thanks to those who either supported or were centrally involved in the organisation of the Let Us Entertain You night which passed off so successfully last Saturday night.

The attention to detail and organisation was exceptional and the feedback on the event has been very positive indeed.

Special thanks go to Roz Steenson who organised the barbecue and food part of the night and to the Ballynahinch Lions Club who provided the marquees and the expertise to erect them.

Special thanks also goes to Ross Hayes and Scott Brashaw for all the repair work that they have undertaken within the club house in recent weeks in preparation for both this event and the youth tournament at the end of August.

The proceeds were in aid of the levelling, repair and reseeding of the training area and everyone at the club is very grateful for the support we have been given to this project.
