Glens finished a respectable third in Conference B, and Mr McQuade wants the club to build on that momentum when the new season kicks off.

He said: “Behind the scenes co-managers John Martin and Kevin Smith are working hard to ensure we maintain the standards set this season and have succesfully negotiated contract extensions for 90 per cent of the current squad.

“They are in negotaiantions with two or three other players with a view to enhancing the current squad.”

Mr McQuade also extended thanks to fans for their fundraising efforts.
