It is with enormous sadness that we have learned of the death of our esteemed President Mick Cotter. Mick was a true Park United man and gave years of service to the club as Manager, Secretary, and President. He will be sorely missed by all at Park United AFC.
Fantastic news received today. The club has been allocated a grant of β¬150k under the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme. This grant will support the development of a full sized, floodlit, all weather pitch in Brigown.

Decent season for the Youths, finishing 4th, just 5 points off champions Douglas Hall. Only beaten twice, the least number of defeats in the league but too many draws ruined the chance of silverware. Throw in a run to the QF of Munster Youth Cup and its a season to be proud of.
