Bangor FC tonight completed the signing of two more players for the 2009/10 season.

Re-signing for another season is midfielder Mark Magennis. After suffering a terrible injury in January 2008, Mark made his return to full fitness last season and hit a spectacular goal in our final match of the 2008/09 against Ballymena United.

Also joining Mark in the middle of the park next season will be Grant Dunlop. Dunlop, is no stranger to Clandeboye Park having spent several seasons at the club under the watchful eye of his father George who was in charge of the club at the time.

An inspired performance by Natasha Lee (pictured) of Bangor Ladies, the ladies section of Bangor Football Club, helped bank another three points for the Coca Cola 3rd Division league leaders on Wednesday (1st) night.

A 6-3 win over neighbouring Abbey Villa at Dairy Hall in Newtownards, means the Seasiders have recorded their highest number of league points accumulated in any season in the NIWFA.

The Bangor Academy teenager netted her second hat-trick in back to back league games, in a determined performance by the under-strength Seasiders.

This result maintains the North Down’s clubs two-point advantage over Newtownards rivals 1st Bangor, with just six league games to go, and establishes the young Bangor forward as the most potent striker in the division with 16 goals scored this season so far.

Bangor have been paired with Ballinamallard United in the opening round of the Co-Operative Insurance Cup.

The Seasiders will be at home on Saturday 29th August, with the return leg scheduled for Monday 7th September.

The winner of the tie will go on to play either Ards or Coagh United in the next round.

The full First Round Draw is as follows:

Limavady United v Glebe Rangers; Coagh United v Ards ; Ballyclare Comrades v Carrick Rangers ; Ballymoney United v Larne ; Donegal Celtic v Loughgall ; Bangor v Ballinamallard United.

Byes - Banbridge Town, Armagh City

Bangor Ladies, the ladies section of Bangor Football Club are destined for the semi finals of the Coca Cola Divisional Cup after they defeated Ballynahinch Olympic 3-2 on Tuesday evening at Bloomfield Road Playing Fields.

Turning out for the first time this season, in their new Sammy Mellon and Sons sponsored colours, the Seasiders went through with a double from Deirdre Savage and a goal from Bangor teenager Lauren McAteer (pictured).

The semi finals are scheduled to be played the week beginning August 10th.

Goalkeeper, Ryan Brown has once again linked up with his former Manager Paul Millar after he today signed for Championship rivals Larne Football Club.

Bangor Director of Team Affairs Sam McKee said "Ryan was offered a very good deal to stay at Bangor but after considering his options, he's decided to sign for Larne. Ryan's been a tremendous servant to the Club and everyone at Bangor Football Club wishes him well in the future."

Also leaving Clandeboye Park for pastures new are Dominic Melly who has signed for Irish Cup winners Crusaders and Andrew Cleary who has signed for Donegal Celtic.

Bangor Ladies, the ladies section of Bangor Football Club are poised for a record breaking season after their impressive 5-3 win last Tuesday evening over Wellington Recreational at Bloomfield Road.

Bangor Reserves finished their season last month by entering 3 teams into the Belfast Marathon relay.

The team spirit, competitiveness and the craic was superb as usual. A great day was had by all, and this was finished off with a buffet provided by Paul O’Kane in the Groomsport Inn.

The final amount raised for Cancer Research was over £1000.

A special thank you to Marty Verner who took up a bucket collection at the Players Awards nite to push the figure over the £1000 mark.

Thanks to all the runners, and everyone who donated to this worthwhile charity.

Bangor Ladies, the ladies section of Bangor Football Club, picked up another three valuable points on the road, with a comfortable 3-1 victory over County Down ladies club Ballynahinch Olympic in the Coca Cola 3rd Division Championship.

 The win maintains Bangor Ladies 100% record away from home and although content with the 3 points, could and should have compounded this victory with a more comprehensive scoreline – the league leaders wasting numerous chances to add to their three goal tally.

Talented young defender Chris Boyd has tonight signed for Bangor for the 2009/10 season.

Chris made a positive impression in the Bangor side towards the tail end of last season and is another welcome addition to Colin McCurdy's squad.

More signings are expected before the end of the week.

Colin McCurdy and Norman Kelly have got straight down to business by signing up Marc Whitford, Stephen Whiteside and Ryan Mann for next season.

It is hoped that more signings will follow in the days ahead.

Bangor Ladies, the ladies section of Bangor Football Club welcomed neighbouring Newtownards side 1st Bangor to Clandeboye Park on Tuesday (26th) evening in what had been billed in the local press, as a top of the table “derby” – both teams putting their NIWFA unbeaten records on the line in this one.

In a tense game Bangor came back from a 1st half penalty to draw 1-1 with a goal from teenager Lauren McAteer (pictured) and stay on top of the league table.

Bangor FC are pleased to announce the appointment of Colin McCurdy as their new manager. Colin had been acting in a caretaker capacity since the departure of Marty Quinn in January, just after Bangor had announced that they would not be re-applying for the Domestic Licence required to compete in the Premiership.

After the trauma of last season, the Board recognised that it was important to have some continuity on the playing side as the Club drops down into the second tier of local football. Colin has impressed the Board with his experience and plans to build a team that will compete in the Championship next season. He also hopes to re-create some of the success enjoyed by the Club when he was the assistant to Nigel Best during the glory years back in the early nineties.

Assisting Colin in his task will be Norman Kelly who had previously been employed as a scout for Linfield FC.

Both Colin and Norman have signed a one year contract and hope to get down to business immediately.
