Cup win marked by Council

Ards FC's victory in the 2008 Steel & Sons Cup final was honoured by Ards Borough Council at a Civic Reception on Wednesday night.

Winning players, club officials and a number of supporters were honoured guests at the Londonderry Room in the Town Hall as the Mayor, Councillor Jim Fletcher paid tribute to the heroics of Christmas day.

With a number of other Councillors in attendance, the Mayor spoke of the pride that Tommy Kincaid's players had brought to the town. He said he also hoped that the recent decision by the Council to back a new stadium for Newtownards would be realised in the near future.

Over 70 guests, including most of the Ards first team squad, were in attendance as the club were presented with a glass vase to mark the cup victory.
