It has been an exciting week for the members of Ballsgrove Youth Club, one that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
The excitement began on Wednesday when players from Drogheda United paid a visit to the club along with team manager Kevin Doherty and the Drogs Chairperson Councillor Joanna Byrne.
The youngsters were delighted to welcome the amazing Drogheda United players to Ballsgrove Youth Cub and the atmosphere was unbelievable as the footballers signed autographs and posed for pictures with the young Drogs fans.
But the excitement didn’t stop there either because the Drogheda United players invited all of the young people to their game on Friday and they went as a group to show their support.
For some of the young people it was their first ever visit to United Park and their first ever live match. To say that they were excited is a major understatement!
Well done to Drogheda United for not forgetting their roots, this visit will no doubt result in more lifelong Drogs fans. C’mon the Drogs!
