Benburb club among winners of Grassroots awards

Benburb grassroots football club Riverdale Youth FC has been announced as a regional winner of the ‘Junior Club of the Year’ category at the McDonald’s Irish FA Grassroots Football Awards 2023.

The annual McDonald’s Irish FA Grassroots Football Awards, which celebrate 23 years in Northern Ireland this year, recognise the unbelievable work and commitment of football clubs and volunteers who give up their time and make a long-lasting impact on young people and communities across Northern Ireland.

The national awards ceremony of the McDonald’s Irish FA Grassroots Football Awards is due to take place in November at Belfast City Hall.

The regional awards event was hosted last week at The National Football Stadium at Windsor Park, where Northern Ireland legend and Fun Football Ambassador Pat Jennings presented the winners with their trophies.
