Meadowvale - Home of Drumaness Mills FC
Loyal local support has always been the hallmark of the
football setup in Meadowvale with scores of fans flocking to matches
throughout the years.
Drumaness Mills proudly opened its new ground and facilities on
Saturday, 1st August 1992.
The pitch, 115 x 75 yards, is a splendid arena, which is used to
host many finals from the Newcastle League. The building houses
three separate changing rooms, showers, referee's room, toilets,
garage and hospitality room.
Club Chairman at the time Mr George Gillespie, thanked all who
helped in any way with the work on the facilities and extended a
warm welcome to Cliftonville, who contested a challenger game with
the Mills. Mr Gillespie also welcomed guests from Co. Antrim F.A.,
Amateur League, Newcastle League, Downpatrick and Crossgar Youth
Leagues and also many past and present players.
What was said on the day:
Mr Sam Osbourne, who was the Chairman of Down
District Council, officially opened the ground. He stated on that
day: "It's a memorable day in the history of the Drumaness Club.
Over the years the club has enjoyed a lot of success in various
competitions and no doubt those occasions have been recorded in many
people's minds. Today the club has achieved its greatest success to
date."
Club Chairman (now Secretary), Mr George Gillespie:
"Over the past thirty years every single person in Drumaness village
has given us support and it is something the club is proud of.
Drumaness is a close knit community and without its help and support
we would not be here today".
Cliftonville Chairman, Mr Jimmy Boyce, who is also
president of the Co. Antrim F.A. was generous in praise: "It's quite
clear everything didn't happen overnight. A lot of hard work and
determination has been put in, and to me that is exactly what
football is all about."
Noel Hanna who was the Club's Secretary: "It's a
great day foe the club and we can only thank all who helped in any
way down through the years to make the club what it is today."
Cliftonville won the challenge game 2-1.
