Gerorge Best Trophy League launched by Celtic's Neil Lennon

The Ardoyne Marrowbone CEP has launched the George Best Trophy League along with Neil Lennon of Celtic. The Tournament runs from the 10th- 14th July on the Marrowbone Playing Fields. The tournament now in its 4th year is the first to be given the support and endorsement of the George Best foundation and Barbara McNarry (George’s sister) is one of the patrons of the event. The IFA Grassroots programmes are also partners. The event is a 7 a side league tournament and is specifically geared to provide a diversionary activity for young men from Ardoyne who have been affected by interface violence and the impact of contentious parades in their community. It has been a huge success and in its 1st year won an award from UEFA and the IFA for its impact on community relations. Registration forms can be got from the Ardoyne Youth Club or the Marrowbone Community House and Cliftonville community centre.
