Ramsey Lads To Grow Moustaches for Harry and Men’s Mental Health

Ramsey AFC are getting their upper lips ready for Movember in a heartfelt tribute to one of their own, Harry Gillings.

The club is raising funds for men’s mental health following the sad news of Harry’s death last week.

Although Harry only played at junior level for the club, he was a fixture at Ballacloan and a familiar face to players, officials and supporters alike.

In a touching statement, Ramsey AFC described him as ‘a true friend, and one of a kind,’ praising his kindness, his willingness to help on matchdays, and the memories he leaves behind.

‘After everything that’s happened recently, we want to show that same togetherness and strength that define us and our community,’ the club said.

Most of the lads have already taken the plunge with the Movember challenge, while a few more are set to follow, and yes, some might struggle, but they’re giving it a proper go anyway.

The fundraising push will be rounded off with Ramsey’s annual beer mile at the clubhouse on Saturday, November 29, with full details to follow.

The club’s tribute has touched the wider Manx football community, with messages of support pouring in from across the island.

As Ramsey AFC put it: ‘Let’s make this one count – for men’s health, for each other, and for Harry.’
