Rossglass County FC

Aaron is Rossglass County Under 6 player of the week! Aaron always listens to his coaches, has great enthusiasm and is making huge strides in training. Well done Aaron. Keep up the good work!

Rossglass County’s “little nippers” were in sparkling form at Downpatrick Sports Centre this morning where they continued their football development under the watchful eye of their coaches.

The young County teams played against Celtic Bhoys and Newcastle and everyone was in fabulous form. There were great performances all round especially from Troy, (pictured left) who made his Rossglass debut and Aaron (pictured right), who made some lovely passes from midfield.

A special mention must go to Ethan, who after fouling an opposing player picked the young boy up and gave him the ball for a freekick. He was called a gentleman by the opposing team coach. Well done Ethan, great sportsmanship!

All the boys did the team proud and were on their best behaviour.

Soccer Sunday for our First Kickers is back in two weeks time!

Under 6 player of the week is Riley! He has great close control, a good shot with his right foot and works really hard in training. Well done Riley, keep up the good work!

Following on from the Glentoran tournament earlier in the year, our Under 8’s will be attending the Cliftonville Youth Cup in May sponsored by “fonaCAB” . The young County team have a tough group after drawing the hosts in Group 3, along with Carryduff Colts and Carmoney FC. However Rossglass will go into this competition full of confidence having given a great account of themselves earlier in the year at the Glen’s tournament. Over the next few months the boys and girls will be training hard under the watchful eye of coaches Danny McGarrity and Fintan Bradley. We hope to have great support at Solitude. Watch this space for more details…

Rossglass County have been invited to take part in the largest 2012 tournament in Northern Ireland to date. Organised by Irish League club Crusaders, the tournament will take place on Sunday 29th April at Seaview.

Rossglass County FC will be taking two teams to participate in the Red (A) and Blue (Development) sections.

The Red section has pulled up a serious test for our team after being drawn in the same group as Cliftonville while the Development team have an equally hard task against Kilmore Rec and East Belfast.

The boys and girls of Rossglass have been training really hard for this competition and we are confident they will do County proud. Our “little nippers” can’t wait and we have specially organised friendly this Sunday against Celtic Bhoys of Downpatrick. Good luck to all the boys and girls…check back to hear how our little nipper got on!

Under 8 Player of the week is Rachael Teggart. Rachel has been working really hard in training, listens to her coaches and shows some great skill. Well done Rachael, keep up the hard work!
