The next generation...
We are very proud of our boys, and this week sees our eldest Conall joining the team.
Since Conall was able to walk he was always mad about diggers, and we couldn't be more proud that he has now made the decision to join the family business.
He is straight out to work at Armoy Glen Rovers Football Ground for their new training pitch area.
