The club are extremely pleased to confirm the appointment of an exceptional new management team for our senior ladies footballers. The management team, led by Gerard McAnulty Jr, includes his father Gerard senior, Kilcoo & Down player Paul Devlin with Seamus Branniff making up the quartet. The Ladies squad have been bolstered by the return of some former players together with some new recruits and with a strong, experienced coaching staff they will be looking to mount a decent challenge this season. We wish the players and the management team the very best of luck in their endeavours.

The Ladies are already back to pre-season training and this weeks schedule, which can also be viewed on the Ladies Facebook group page, Friday at 7.15 pm in Kazoku and also on Sunday at 10 am in Castlewellan Forest Park. New players welcome.
