The Downpatrick FC Under 13s and 14s got a great day for their sponsored litter pick at Ballyhornan Beach writes Tony McShane.
The activity was organised to raise money for the boys’ kit bags but also provided a huge opportunity for thexa0Clubxa0to highlight the effects that pollution and plastics have on our beaches and marine life.
xa0It was also another opportunity for us to bring the lads together following a long period of lockdowns during the pandemic.
