Michael United Appeal For New Players After Mass Exodus

Michael United Football Club is calling for fresh faces to join its ranks after a major shakeup has left them short on players.

A couple of weeks ago, the First Team manager departed the club, taking most of the squad with him to Douglas Royal.

Now, Michael United – which has been a proud staple of the Kirk Michael village since 1919 – is at risk of struggling to field teams for the rest of the season.

With numbers low, the club is appealing for anyone interested in senior football to step up and join the first or combination teams.

Former players, some well into their forties, are even considering lacing up their boots again to keep the club going.

But to secure their future, they’re hoping for new talent to jump in and keep the club alive.

The club posted on Facebook today: ‘Unfortunately the club is extremely low on numbers, and we are needing more players to help the club.

‘If you’re looking to play regular senior football or keen to start, we’re looking for new players to help bolster numbers for both first and combination teams.’

Training is held at St Johns astro pitch:

• Tuesdays, 8:30pm – 10pm
• Wednesdays, 6pm – 7pm

So if you’re up for it, either message the club’s Facebook page or just show up to training.
