Local football club, Magherafelt Sky Blues, has announced the launch of the ‘Charlie Conway Memorial Cup’, a new fundraising tournament in memory of Charles Conway, former player and late brother of MKB Law Director Maria Conway.

The tournament, for teams with players over 35, takes place throughout May and will raise funds for two excellent charities; ALPS (All Lives are Precious, a community-based mental health initiative) and Air Ambulance Northern Ireland.

MKB Law are delighted to be involved in supporting this tournament and the nominated charities.

The Club comments: “This tournament has been specifically designed for veterans and is the very first of its kind in Mid-Ulster. The veteran teams in the area are expanding, and are proving to be extremely positive for the socialisation and mental health of older players.”

The event organisers are grateful for all donations received to date (including prizes donated for a ‘Prizefunder’ raffle on the day of the final) and to all the tournament sponsors. For those interested in further supporting the event via sponsorship or donation, please kindly contact Maria Conway at mc@mkblaw.co.uk or visit our JustGiving page.
