Additionally, several youth teams participate in the South Belfast Youth Football League (SBYFL), including Under-17, Under-16, two Under-15 teams, and Under-14. Our Under-11, Under-12, and Under-13 teams, along with our Mini Soccer section (Under-7 to Under-10), compete in the DYFL. Recognizing the growing demand for early engagement in football, we have introduced a Soccer Tots section for boys and girls aged 44. Our primary goal is to provide accessible football opportunities for all, fostering health, wellbeing. and community spirit, regardless of age, gender. nationality, ethnicity, religion, or ability. The Club also promotes peace and reconciliation through sport. Public benefit ststement The charity has given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland's guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities entered into during the year have helped to achieve the charity's objectives and activities as well as providing public benefit. Achievements and performance The club continues to work closely with the South Eastern Health Trust to secure land for a much-needed facility to benefit both the club and the wider community. This effort is supported by Development Trusts Nl, Newry Mourne and Down District Council, local councillors, and MLAS. Additionally, we have engaged with the local parish regarding the potential use of a vacant field within the town and talks remain ongoing. In response to growing interest from youth players, we successfully introduced a second team into the Newcastle & District Amateur League. This initiative provided a pathway for Under-17 players to transition into senior football, resulting in a league and Supplementary Cup victory in their debut season. It also contributed to the senior team's success, with three players making their first-team debut. The first team had an outstanding season, earning promotion and reaching the Bobby Dalzell Cup final.
