AC 'Malin' to grace Christmas Cup
09.12.11
ONCE again this year Paddy
McGuinness and Carndonagh FC are running the popular
Christmas Cup at the Astro Pitch, St. Patrick's Park,
Carndonagh.
Sixteen teams from Carn, Malin, Glengad, Malin Head,
Gleneely, Culdaff and Muff will compete for the coveted
trophy. The 7-a-side competition will run during
Christmas week with all group games being played on
Tuesday 27th December and Wednesday 28th December. The
quarter-finals will take place on Thursday 29th December
with the semi finals and final on Friday 30th December.
The event is being run in memory of former club
secretary, Michael Doherty (Newman), and proceeds are
going to Donegal Hospice. Michael's son, Fergal, and his
'Newmanator' team are defending the trophy but they face
stiff competition from the likes of AC Malin, Bayer
Neverlusen and Crossroads Elite. A special challenge
match between an Inishowen over 40s Select v a Derry
over 40s Select will also take place on Finals Day at
2pm just before the Christmas Cup Final. Refreshments
will be available at the clubhouse on each match day and
there will be plenty of entertainment on show for the
spectators to enjoy. A new cup kindly sponsored by
Simpsons/Tul na Ri is on offer for the winners of this
year's competition. There will also be individual awards
presented to the 'Player of the Tournament', 'Top
Goalscorer', and the dreaded 'Christmas Turkey'. So
please come along and support this charity event and
have a good day's craic! |
