Ballyclare, Co Antrim: Comrades Form Football Team

World War One At Home

Available for over a year

The Country Antrim football club Ballyclare Comrades is unusual in two ways. Not only is it run by a committee, whose members are elected annually by season ticket holders, it is also one of the few remaining football teams formed by soldiers returning from World War One. Local men George Logan and Edward Beck tell the story of a team whose proud motto remains, 'Nothing except your best'. Location: Ballyclare Comrades Football Club, BT39 9BB Image of football boots circa 1919 at Dixon Park, Ballyclare
