08/12/04 - New Manager Announced
Eamonn Clarke has been confirmed as manager of Kilbride for
the coming season 2005. Eamonn has been a loyal servant for Kilbride
for many years now both on the pitch and off it. Last season
Eamonn took a number of training sessions with a favourable response
from the lads and subsequently decided to throw his hat into
the ring.
Eamonn made some brief cameo appearances since his return from
injury, but there has been no announcement yet about his retirement
from playing !!!
07/11/04
The club AGM has been set for Tuesday 7 December at 8.30 pm
in the clubhouse. All welcome.
20/10/04
After two and a half years at the helm, Kilbride Manager Martin
McCarthy stepped down last night at at a players meeting. Martin
gave great service to the club in this period, and his passion,
enthusiasm and commitment to the cause will always be remembered
by the players, supporters and members of Kilbride.
As captain Brian White pointed out, when Martin took over Kilbride
seemed to be stuck in a cycle of going up from div. 5 and then
going back down. Under Martin, Kilbride became a team that were
always competitive and hard to beat in either the league or championship.
The players will also never forget Martin's gesture of making
a huge contribution to the players weekend fund last year. It
was something that he didn't have to do, but was warmly appreciated.
Kilbride wish to thank Martin for everything and wish him well
in the future. Martin has also stated his desire to remain a
member of Kilbride, and we hope to see him at Kilbride matches
in the future.
