Fundraising Programme 2009
"You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give." (Winston Churchill) The 2009/10 season is going to be one of the biggest in DCFC's history both on and off the field, what with the costs of running the club increasing every season, the welcome work done on the pitch, the introduction of two new underage teams and with the current financial climate (don't mention 'economic downturn' or 'recession') it's going to prove to be a very difficult season all round, we have drawn up a programme of fundraising events for the next few months ...

Mountjoy Utd 2–3 Draperstown Celtic
A goal six minutes from time by Ally McLean was enough to tip the balance in favour of Draperstown in this excellent cup tie played in near perfect conditions at the impressive grounds of Mountjoy.

However they battled on and secured a semi final berth thanks to McLean’s ...
DC 0–0 Newbuildings Utd
Draperstown’s recent revival which had seen five consecutive wins was slowed down on Saturday when a determined Newbuildings side fought out a scoreless draw. For the most part it was a dour midfield battle, with defences on top and neither keeper overworked. The result probably had more to do with the very poor state of the pitch as neither side was able to produce the type of football they normally can.
