Following the death of former coach, Damien O’Neill, from a motor neurone disease, the Seniors organised a match among themselves last weekend at Rathmore to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. The coaches and managers raised an impressive £1,230. Thanks to the Senior players and coaches involved. It was a tremendous gesture.

History was made at the weekend when Belfast got it’s youngest ever Lord Mayor. Here is under 9 player, Rory Magee, receiving the Chains of Office from outgoing Mayor, Deirdre Hargey.

The club has learned with sadness of the death in his early fifties of Damien O’Neill, a former coach of the club. Damien, seen here on the left in the coaches’ row, coached the 2001 boys for a couple of years and his son Patrick played for the 2001s from mini soccer up to under 16. St. Thomas Aquinas pray for him. Dia go trocaire ar an anam uasal.

The Seconds play East Belfast in the final of the Walter Moore Cup at Seaview on Wednesday 8 May. The game kicks off at 8.00pm. Let’s get a good crowd out to cheer the lads on.

Congratulations to Paddy McGeown, who has tonight won the Golden Boot. It’s been a great contest this year. Firstly, Conaill Taggart kept the pressure on Paddy, then Brendan Blaney mounted a late challenge and almost brought it off. However, it was not to be and Paddy has been crowned as 2018/2019 Golden Boot winner. While this is a great achievement for Paddy, his winning the Boot also creates a little bit of Aquinas history. His brother Conor was a famous blue’n’black keepe
