Busy summer for Ahoghill YFC
In July, the club had the great pleasure of hosting an Austrian exchangee Sophiea Treffer for a week.
This was a great experience and members took it in turns to show Sophia around and they visited some popular tourist attractions such as the Giant’s Causeway, Mussenden Temple and, of course, the club had to have a trip up Slemish.

Thanks go to the Chesney and Speers families for hosting Sophia and members are looking forward to a return trip to Austria to visit Sophia.
At the end of July the club sent a junior team to the tag rugby heats in Ballymoney and it was a great success when they made it through to the Northern Ireland finals.
It was the first time the club had got through to the finals and the members were delighted at this but even more pleased when the team placed third in all of Northern Ireland.

This was a brilliant success and it was great to see all the hard work pay off.
Thanks to everyone who came and supported the club on the night and thanks are extended to all the past and present members who worked extremely hard on the night and in the weeks before to make sure all went according to plan.
The club had their first summer daytrip this year and members headed to the Edge Watersports Centre in Coleraine to take part in the activities there.

On Tuesday September 5th the club began their winter programme with a games night followed by a barbecue at Gracehill Primary School.
It was great to see lots of returning faces as well as some new members.
It’s still not too late to join the club and it would be great to see even more new faces at the upcoming meeting.

To raise money for the club’s charity of the year which is CRS Portglenone, members are holding a charity car wash on Saturday, September 30th from 8am at the car park beside the new health centre in Ahoghill.
While your car is being washed you can treat yourself to a breakfast bap and a cup of tea or coffee.
It would be great to see lots of people there supporting such a worthwhile charity.
