New Manager
21 Jan 2008

On Saturday 19 January 2008, Ballyclare North End announced the successful appointment of Alan 'Magoo' McCullough as the new manager.

Magoo replaced the successful Ally Lawrie, who in turn 'moved' upstairs to focus on the running of the club.

With just 6 league games of the season remaining, this gives all playing personel time to impress the new manager.

Start Of An Era
22 Dec 2007

The committee of Ballyclare North End FC, decided to appoint founder member Ally Lawrie as manager/coach of the club, following the departure of Thomas McColgan.

This coincided with a much revamped structure of the club, with the appointment of non-players to the committee. This was to give a much needed impartial opinion on club decisions.

This also instigated the first steps in replacing an already popular website that already had over 6,000 hits recorded on it. It was believed a revamp of the website would raise the clubs profile further and possibly increase appeal and demand of club merchandise to help fund the clubs future.

End Of An Era
22 Dec 2007

It was decided on 11th October 2007 that North End Football Club would part ways with the extremely passionate Thomas McColgan as manager.
It was a hard decision which faced the committee, but one that left the club with little choice, after a disappointing start to 07/08 season.
All at Ballyclare North End wish Thomas the best for the future and hope that the steep learning curve he received at North End will continue.
