Manager, Ronnie Stephenson, says: “The company were very pleased to be asked and even happier that we could provide this much needed transport so the children can partake in their games.”

Club Secretary, Billy O’Flaherty, said: “Our Club costs will be drastically reduced now thanks to Karl Airport Parking as we will no longer need to hire a minibus for the fixtures, which could have been as much as a few hundred pounds each time depending on the venue.

“These funds can now be put towards expanding the qualifications of our coaches and updating our equipment at the Club.”

Meanewhile, with the season now at a close Carniny Youth will look forward to their prize giving nights this Thursday and Friday evenings.
