## Annalong Football Club Trustee Report 

## Charity NIC 107788 

Report Year 2023 

The club continues to flourish and deliver sporting facilities for 2 Adults teams and provide facilities for the youth section to flourish. 

Well over 100 from the local community crossing all religious divides use the facilities on a weekly basis ranging from kids from 5 years of age up to adults in their senior years. 

All work is carried out by volunteers from our committee which continue to run the club via a management committee which the trustees sit above. Meaning all funds coming into the club are used to further the purpose we exist for. 

Seniors – Team compete in Mid Ulster football league in Div 1 and Reserves in Div 3. 

Due to increased club members joining during 2023 the management committee looked at possibility to starting a third team but decided present facilities would not support this at present.  Looking forward the club will look to fund raise and improve facilities for future growth when more prudent. 

Health benefits growing within the community as although only 22 players can play each week in the team we have over 50 adults attend for training sessions purely in some cases for the health and community benefits being part of a club like ours brings. 

As reported last year we celebrated 125 years of the club during 2022 bringing together many old faces to celebrate. A few have came back into attending and helping out which is great asset helping young folk. They have remained which is great. 

We continue to provide facilities for our local youth teams to train and play for ages 5 up to 14 year olds who sit outside our senior club.
