MAC Dinner & Presentation 2024 –

Mid Antrim Combine dinner and presentation –

The Mid Antrim Combine held their prize giving in conjunction with the Rasharkin club in the Royal British Legion in Ballymoney just before the turn of the year. The Combine established in 1978 is still going as strong as ever. Membership and birdage may have decreased but it’s still as competitive today as it was in the 80’s. Coleraine fancier Bobby Coyle presented the awards after a great meal supplied by A Bite Above in Ballymoney.
