THE IMMACULATA.F.C  MEMBERS AND PLAYERS

First Team Manager & Secretary  Kevin Lawlor Our Currant Manager joined the Immaculata back in the late 80's when playing for both Middle Falls F.C. and a spell with Cromac Albion in the Intermediate League, He joined what would become a very successful Immaculata team winning the old Dunmurry League,Nelson Cup and other trophys on many occasions.In 1994/95 season he went on to captain the Immaculata in the Junior shield Final defeating Temple Rangers 2-1.Two years later he captained them again in a Junior shield Final but sadly they were defeated in a match they should never have lost 2-1 to Grove united In the last 2 seasons as manager he has built up a very young and exciting squad who's average age is 23 so they should be around for a long time to come competing for all the Junior competitions
