Back In The Game

Champions! 26MAY19

t’s been a hell of a year for Greytones United AFC but, as you can see from the pic above, all’s well that ends damn swell.

Last week, having struggled to avoid relegation in recent months, the team scored a crucial 4-2 victory over Glebe North, and now…

Well, now, it’s time to give thanks and praise, and train, and plan, and, of course, to celebrate.

And that’s just what was going on at The Burnaby last night, as the players drank to not only that crucial win but also to crown David Crosbie the 1st Team Player of the Year and goalkeeper Robbie O’Connor the Saturday Player Of The Year.

So, as you’re reading this, there’s quite a strong possibility that the celebrations are still going on.

The team’s battle against relegation got a boost – and something of an international spotlight – when Liverpool FC invited the Greystones lads to take part in their Training S.O.S. program, soon gaining a little help from new friends Jason McAteer, John Barnes, John Aldridge and manager Jürgen Klopp.

With the future of Greystones United AFC now looking decidedly brighter, we managed to drag manager Marty Killilea away from last night’s celebrations for 10 minutes, to find out more about how the team got from down there to up here…

Always keen to sign new players, of all ages, you can find out more about Greytones United AFC right here, or email them directly on [email protected]. And girls should check out their Open Day on Saturday June 1st, at 2pm, here.
