On 6th August 2017 the Michael Fisher Memorial Trophy was contested at the Dub Playing Fields in Belfast

The day started out a little grey as the weather closed in with rain, wind and dark skies however we didn’t lose any enthusiasm for the day and had faith that the sun would shine through, and did it! Around 1pm the rain had stopped and we were all set up, ready for the first teams to start playing.

13 teams took part this year and after a number of rounds, quarters, semi finals, penalty shoot outs the eventual winners were crowned. There was plenty of fun and various levels of football skills on display and plenty of spectators throughout the day.

This years winners were “Chamakh My Pitch Up” who can be seen in the photos alongside this write up. Well done to them and we hope to see you next year to contest the trophy!

There was a refreshments stand stocked with food and drinks kindly baked and made and donated from many sources, big thank you to everyone who did this.

The raffle this year was an enormous success with approx 50 prizes being donated locally and nationally.

Congratulations to all those who won a prize.

We had a great time organising it and were delighted with the day.

It was a great success and we continue to honor and celebrate our little brother Michael’s life & memory and raise much needed funds for CRY.

We raised just over £4500 this year, which is an incredible amount of money.
