Athea United Soccer
THIS FRIDAY NIGHT IS AWARDS NIGHT
The Annual Athea Utd Awards Night will take place on this coming Friday night, May 8th at The Top of the Town. This is the social highlight of the clubs season and this year we have more reason to celebrate with the club having won two league titles, the U10s winning the league on the last day of the season, a scoreless draw away to Glantine being good enough to win us the league. The U14s also brought home a league title and a very deserved one at that with eleven wins in a row, (a club record) capping off a great season. The U16s had a good season too when finishing second in their division.
We look forward to seeing everybody there on Friday night with proceedings pencilled in to commence at 9.30pm. Food will be served on the night followed by a disco. See everybody Friday night.
