It was a return to competitive action for five club teams last weekend after the Christmas break. The only team however to record a win were the Seniors in the Saturday Morning League who had a pleasing 4-3 win over Braid Utd, courtesy of goals from Scott Buxton, 2, Matthew O’Flaherty and Danny McComb.

In the Lisburn League the Under 11s lost out in an 11 goal thriller, a late penalty for Ards Rangers the only goal splitting the teams, deciding the game. The U12s also had and agonising exit from the NIBFA Plate, losing out in a penalty shoot out to decide the game. The U12 Youth team lost out to Annalong in the Lisburn League. The only other team in action were the U14s who exited the NIBFA League Cup at the hands of Glentoran Academy. The Under 15s game against Glenavon was moved to Monday 11th at Crumlin.
