A huge thank you to all the supporters from both sides who came out to support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the game, both teams proudly presented a cheque for \u00a3750 to Marie Curie, raised at last year\u2019s match. Pictured with the teams is Brian\u2019s wife, Rosemary, who remains at the heart of this event, alongside Bangor Men\u2019s captain Ryan Lyall, North Down Men\u2019s captain Josh Gilmore, North Down Club Chairman Sam Pyper and a Marie Curie representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
