NEXT CLUB MEETING...
Will be held at Newforge Country Club

AWAY TRAVEL
SCOTLAND
 
The cost of the Scotland trip has been set at £90.  All rooms in the hotel have been taken and will be allocated on hopefully a fair basis.  There are a number of single rooms in the hotel and anyone who specifically wants one of these rooms can do so at a £10 supplement.  If the total cost works out at less than £90 then the difference will be taken off the cost of your match ticket.  We have been told that tickets will be a maximum of £20 each.
 
We are looking payment in two parts.  A total of £55 (This includes the £20 deposit you should already have paid) must be paid by Sunday 20th July.  The balance (£35) and the price of the match ticket must be paid by the date of the next club meeting which is MONDAY 11TH AUGUST.
 
Could those people who only require a match ticket please let Andy Culbert know so that he can add you to his list.

Spirit of 82 outclass UTV 'stars' AGAIN!
 
A very warm, sunny evening in Victoria Park, East Belfast for the 2nd game between UTV and SO82. With the first game last autumn finishing 2-1 in SO82's favour the pressure was on to produce a good away performance, and we did, running out 6-2 winners!

A great game of football and thanks to Colin of UTV for organising the pitch and referee.

SPIRIT OF 82 - 4, UTV - 2
Saturday 8th October
 
Easy, Easy, Easy!!!
 
Well done to all concerned.

SPIRIT OF 82 - 3, SPORTING LISBURN ROAD - 7
Saturday 3rd August
 
On a bright Saturday morning, perfect conditions, silky skills on the Northern Ireland training pitch at Newforge, the Spirit of 82 faced their toughest opposition yet.
 
Sporting Lisburn were the visitors, a mid-Ulster league team who were initially intimidated by the cauldron that is...NEWFORGE.  On ten minutes, Sporting Lisburn took the lead via a wicked deflection.  Soon after a second followed putting the home team 2-0 down.  However, the resilience kicked in - playing for the shirt - and Spirit of 82 won a penalty.  Pete Dennis sent the keeper the wrong way to trail by the odd goal.  Soon after, Spirit of 82 won a free kick in midfield.  Ryan Stephenson took a quick one to Steven McKay whose strength beat 2 players before calmly rounding the keeper to place the ball in the net.
 
The oppositions fitness told in the second half, going 4-2 up, before Ryan Stephenson slotted the ball home from 4 yards.  The warm conditions played a part and the match finished 7-3.
 
A great start to match day nevertheless...
