Among the guests received by Deputy Mayor, Councillor Breanainn Lyness, at an event to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the All Saints club were several founder members including current club president, Denis Martin.
In 1975 the club took its first tentative steps towards providing Gaelic games in Ballymena. Fast forward five decades later and the impressive club facilities on the Woodside Road are testament to the success of that decision.
Councillor Lyness paid tribute to the contribution the club has made to the local community particularly for young people and pledged the future support of Council for their work.
In return club Chairperson, Jim Brady, offered thanks to Council for a range of financial support provided over the last 20 years including the floodlight programme at their Quinn Park pitch and their latest capital project – a gym, ball wall and 3g floodlit training facility. The latter is due to open during 2025 and Mid & East Antrim Council has provided £50k towards the overall £550k cost of the project.
