Saying the forum has been quiet I thought this could be a good thread to get some activity going again  It can be an individual moment, a team achievement, a funny story or really anything as long as its to do with BSML. Get posting lads - ill have a think about my own and post it  Ps bap if your stuck, reffing a third division game counts too ;D |

mines is quite obviously Saints winning the league in May against Carniny!! After losing first game I never thought we could win it and with 90 odd minutes played it still didn't look like it would happen then wee Gavy pulled one outta the bag!! celebrations wer brilliant and the day we had as a club in the Slemish was brilliant!! also this game for me showed how much the BSML brings to the town with such a big crowd at Wakehurst that day to watch the game!!

Well playing in the bsml around the last 9/10 seasons I have a few ;D Winning the second division with penarol and the O'Kane cup in the same season was a great moment as obviously we were still a second division side winning a three league trophy. The following season winning the first division with penarol was a brilliant achievement and having to beat carniny on there home pitch which we did with me scoring the winner was certainly my best moment that season. Fast forward a few years ;D an being part of the broadway second division title winning side was absolutely class even know I only signed at Xmas which sort of takes the shine off it for me. The following season at broadway, scoring in the last minute to draw with a carniny team at the peak of their powers at the time was an unbelievable moment, I'll always remember Sherman and Stevie Elliott coming running onto the pitch going absolutely mental, fun times ;D Then onto my saints days and the most memorable of the lot was Gavin scoring that winner in monte time just to finally get that league trophy back across the bridge was an unbelievable feat and to do it with so many childhood friends and with he legend wee Shaun McLaughlin in attendance just can't be topped ;D Just typed this out quickly off the top of me head ;D get your moments posted lads  |

Bap, I can assure you now, you scored no hattrick against broadway while I was there Sandy Bay - we might even have lost 4-3 but we were all conspiring against Connor so they didnt win the League. I didnt know you at the time but you have since claimed not to have been there. All the clues suggest you were. I played centre forward against a mouthy cnut (check) who liked to use the elbows (check) First half header from a corner. Second half pen..Then Mouthy McMouth gave away a pen (check) which I scored but he cried to the ref (check) about something so it had to be retaken. He told the keeper you know where he's putting it so I scored it again. Think you were... |

My funniest was a Junior Shield match in Carrick, with it being an afternoon kick off Sir Michael was well oiled, he spent 20 minutes watching the wrong match about 2 pitches away, cheering on Castletown who had folded 2 years earlier

I've a few myself.. Winning the league for my 1st time up against the saints.. Wasn't the last game but we needed 3 points from our last 3 games, we beat saints 5 nil at the Waveney and think I scored 3.. Also not sure which cup final it was but the 8-1 thumping of abbeyview on the keels pitch, got 5 myself, great nite.
Winning the carlsberg cup with the sky blues a few times as well, 1 against enkalon and not sure who else against. Great parties after them.
My 1 and only trophy for RAFC, we beat glenarm who had won the league that year. Scored 2 that nite. Plenty of lows as well in our great wee league.

Was a tight race with fc Antrim that year we won it with a game to spare and lifted the trophy up in dunfane against northend who were also in the race that year iirc. Low that year was not winning the McCauley cup. We turned up to play towers 3 times and no ref turned up so played friendliest each time which we won comfortably. When we eventually played with a ref the turned us over, was crazy. Also won the 3rd div cup and league in one season but I didn't play as many games that year as I was just trying to break into the team. Pele ask Wilko bout the player of the division that year ;D |

Johnny yous went on some run that season towards the business end! A great run, i think it was 17 or 18 games unbeaten in the end. We also made the semi of the o'kane cup that season, 2-0 up against a good first division side in abbeyview and we missed a sitter to make it three. They ended up beating us 3-2  It all makes sense now though as the player who missed the sitter is now at Abbeyview. ;D Won the 3rd division cup and came second in the league in my first season at 7 Towers too, just a pity the foreigners were there that season as they beat us by 3 points to the league |

Best moments - winning 3rd div playoffs, seeing Willie Brown score from the halfway line, beating Connor in Connor after DC said nobody could beat them there, being 4-2 down atThistle and watching Haler turn into Zidane to beat them 8-4, putting Banjo on as sub against Glenarm because he told me he would score the winner, only for him to be sent off for a headbutt 30 seconds later
Lows - 2 playoff defeats against Clough and Westend... Being 1 up with 5 minutes to go in McAuley cup semi, only for Darren Campbell to score twice, finishing joint bottom of the 3rd about 10 years ago

not really had any ffs. biggest sickener was losing on penalties twice in 3 days last year. on the wed we drew 6-6 with fc penarol and 4-4 with sky blues on the sat but lost both on pens. was pretty gutted after the playoff semi-final last year too. we had lost two games since end of october & both were nights we had no team due to hurling matches. genuinely thought we would win them but got battered by dunloy.

Bap, I remember this trio of goals well...mostly because it was the even fatter version of Fishster grabbed the winner. As for Mr Pele, he was a Broadway player then but if Yese remember the old cracker where muffinman told Pele that he (Pele) wasn't available for this game, that was this game. Neither Pele or Brian were in attendance that day and I remember worrying about it as not many fancied heading down to play Yese at that time as you were a very good team. If memory serves, we were the only club to take 6 points off you that season? |

"However, the more formidable the challenge, the more earnest will be our efforts. And to The Rangers supporters, the most loyal on earth, I can make the firm promise that no energies will be spared by this club to ensure that the mighty traditions of the past will be continued."
It all makes sense now though as the player who missed the sitter is now at Abbeyview. ;D
