It’s been a busy few months for Lisnamurrican YFC and club members have enjoyed being kept busy with events and happenings.

In February members took to the stage to perform their arts festival, The Highest Bidder.

The drama continued with members taking part in the one act competition with their play A Bottle of Sherry.

March saw members put on a great showcase at their annual parents night which also marked the change over of the club committee.

Lisnamurrican YFC wish everyone the best of luck in their new roles, particularly the new club leader David Hamilton and new club secretary Alexis Kidd.

The start of sports nights signalled the start of summer and members have been out in force bringing home medals for football, tag rugby and tug of war.

Recently, members have also taken part in competitions, including dairy stockjudging and silage assessment, girls and boys football and build it as well as supporting the launch of Ballymena Show, which the club are excited to help out with again this year.

The YFCU AGM and conference was a great success for the club with Ruth Morrow winning best treasurer in Northern Ireland, which was a fantastic achievement.

The winning streak continued at Balmoral Show with Megan Ross placing third in floral art and all three of the club's tug of war teams making it to their respective finals.
