Mullingar Town to honour Glen Abbey Cup winners

Mullingar Town AFC Notes

On Saturday night November 11, Mullingar Town will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of winning the Glen Abbey Cup in 1973 when 'the Town' beat top Dublin side St Francis after a replay in St Mel's Park, Athlone by 3 goals to 2 after extra-time.

Also this Saturday night Mullingar Town will celebrate the 45th Anniversary of winning the counties cup in 1978, when 'The Town' beat Caragh Celtic from Kildare by four goals to nil. All players that featured in those two finals, as well as all ex-Mullingar Town players and present day Mullingar Town players are being invited to the Mullingar Arts Centre 'Bar' for an evening of sing-song and stories.

The club hope to have The Glen Abbey Cup and the Counties Cup on display in the Arts Centre.

The event kicks off at 8pm so why not pop down to Mullingar Arts Centre on Saturday night to relive two magnificent sporting success stories.

Each member of the Glen Abbey Cup side and each member of the Counties Cup side will be presented with a commemorative trophy on the night.

Meet and greet

Mullingar Town Club is holding a 'Meet and Greet' evening for parents in the Annebrook House Hotel, Mullingar on Thursday evening, November 9, at 8pm. This is a key event as we are focusing strongly on developing our new underage schoolboys section, so we are keen to get as many parents as possible on Thursday evening.
