Successful local festival

SIR, — As chairman of Crossgar Youth League I would like to thank everyone who helped make this year’s festival a great success.

On August 4 at Robert Adams Park teams from the Crossgar League played others representing the Saintfield district, Ballynahinch Olympic and Rossglass County, with parents and grandparents watching the stars of the future.

Thanks to the visiting teams and their managers for coming to Crossgar and on August 5 we held our annual open day at Lislea Drive where there were many attractions and 12 soccer games.

A massive thanks to everyone who gave their time to help, with special thanks to Caroline Patterson for organising the cycle event.

Thanks to Paul Fitzsimons for bringing along the Thomas the Tank engine and to Joe Braden and Steven Teggart for manning the two bouncy castles. I am also indebted to Margaret, Pamela, Leanne, Nicola, Bernie and Cyril for their help. This was the best community day of the year in Crossgar.

Yours etc,

PAUL TEGGART,

Crossgar Youth 

League Chairman.
