We always love to celebrate success on Sports Bond by all members but when it is a Senior citizen we are even more delighted. However when a Senior citizen wins a second Major win inside of a month then we really do have an extra cause for celebration! That is exactly has happened to Pauline Perry (A2063) a member on the agency of Maurice Anderson. Two weeks ago Pauline was a£50 Major winner and this week she repeated the feat.A big Congratulations to Pauline one of our many Senior citizens that are Sports Bond members. Maurice was also agent of the week with a £10 Minor win for William Hull (A6503) who is also a senior citizen.
The other Major winner this week was down in Randalstown and that was Billy Scott (B4207) on the agency of Alastair Shaw. Billy has been a previous Major winner and guess what Billy is also a Senior citizen!.
Of our other Minor winners William Kyle (A1069) was a £10 winner on the agency of David Brown and may possibly be a senior citizen. However we certainly know that Sky Blue and Everton fanatic Jordan Millar (A2482) is definitely not a Senior citizen!!!

Ballymena United are delighted to share with supporters some of the background changes as the club restructures following a year of transition in the boardroom.
Two new directors were appointed this season following a process of nominations with shareholders at the last AGM. These directors subsequently took up two new positions prior to Christmas, namely Director of Football Operations, Andy McDowell, looking after transfers, developing a scouting network and will go on to lead on football administration. Gary McConnell has taken up the position of Commercial Director, looking after sponsorship and developing business relationships and developing new avenues and networks to boost income streams.
Also rejoining the board of directors is Ronnie McDowell, having previously served as director for 6 years.
This season’s end will also see management committee members Jonny Irwin and Iain Black stepping down. Following a combined service of almost 30 years to the club, both had stated their intention to step back at the end of last season, however, stayed on for an additional year to support the interim committee and new manager and staff coming in.
Chairman Chris Selwood said, “It is clear that football in Northern Ireland has changed dramatically over the past five years, and we know that as a club in order to keep up we have to move forward to move upwards. There is no point in doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome.
In some ways we can make small tweaks, other things need bigger change, but we also have to be absolutely sure in every decision we make that it’s right for Ballymena United and in line with the longer term plans for the club. The new board positions have been created to take us forward, and with Iain and Jonny informing the board in October of their intentions to step down at the end of the season, as we thank them for their work, we also have been working to a plan to replace their roles.
Change therefore offers up opportunities for supporters to put their hand up and volunteer with the club - something that all member of our management committee members started off their journey by doing. We are currently actively recruiting for volunteers and the details can be found on social media, or by emailing shopemails@ballymenaunitedfc.com. Ballymena United prides itself on having always been a supporter run club, and call on anyone who feels they can contribute to our club to step up and be part of the vision going forward.
The club look forward to further engagement with shareholders at the end of season AGM to outline future plans for the club, and confirm the longer term board and management structure to progress the the club off and on the pitch. The future’s bright, the future is Sky Blue.”
