Hot pocket action @Racks147 Maidenhead yesterday for the 6th annual club Buckfast Masters snooker tournament. Brilliantly organised by Tom 'vodka' Robinson, the final was contested by Ian 'sink the' Brown and Craig 'skinbeater' Lutton, with the percussionist retaining the trophy. – at Pineda de Mar, Spain
⚽️ Congratulations to @LimavadyUtdFC striker @JMcG_96 who recently equalled a 21-year club record of scoring in 5⃣ consecutive top-flight league games, a feat first achieved by Kevin Ramsey back in 2005.
⚽️Duncan Ferguson will become the 5⃣th former @Everton player to become manager of @Glentoran
The previous four are
David Reid - 1934
James McIntosh 1948-1951
Alex Young - 1968
Tommy Jackson - 1987 -1993
Can't think of anyone Conor 😀
You'd have to think Duncan Ferguson would be one of the first (if not THE first) Irish League managers to have previously been assistant to Carlo Ancelotti? 🤔 Perhaps @NIStats can confirm???
