MATCH REPORTS

SATURDAY 12th November 2022

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday next will see seven Intermediate Teams playing in the IFA Intermediate Cup 2nd Round. They will all have to be in top form to progress into the next round as the opposition is strong.

The referee situation among the Juniors was good on Saturday past with a referee available for each game played so we hope this trend will follow on for the remainder of the season.

Sympathy

The past couple pf weeks has been sad time for the Brantwood club as another of their stalwarts Alan Johnston passed away during the week. Alan was the club secretary for many years. The deepest sympathy of everyone connected with league is extended to Alan's Family and Club who will certainly miss him.
