Seline Mc Kenna said: "I had heard so much about the great work done on the field of play by all at Craigavon City, and we are very grateful for all their efforts.”
Tony Cochrane, speaking on where the club currently are, said: "We haven't stood still on the development and games front. You could say the club is always looking for more coaches. We have around 40 covering both the girls and boys teams, but we could always do with more."
