So we decided to take a look through the archives to see if we could find some pictures from the club’s past – back when Newry City AFC was Newry Town FC!
We’ve found some pictures from before the war and from the turn of the century too.

3. This team of '87 made history
This Newry Town team from 1987 made soccer history when the club won both the Mid-Ulster Senior Cup and the County Antrim Shield. It was the only occasion in the 20th Century that any senior club in the Irish League has held the respective Premier trophies of two FA Associations in the same year. Photo: Newry Reporter
