‘88 BLOCK!

Connor Mac with an outstanding last ditch block. Love that.

He’s taken a clattering, but prevented a goal.

Another excellent performance from our #6.

Signs in late September
Goes on to make 35 starts
A constant rock at the heart of our defence
Third best league defensive record achieved

Initially signed as defensive cover but thrown straight in during our defensive injury crisis, Connor took his chance and made the spot his own.

Recognised throughout the season by opposition, fans and followers for his calm, mature, but solid defensive showing, it was an outstanding season for the young defender.

And now rightly recognised as he takes home the Managements Player of the Year Award.

𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗 | 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗼𝗱

Managers Player of the Year last season, and the gaffer has secured the young defenders services for the 25/26 campaign.

35 appearances last season after joining us in September, Connor Mac impressed continually throughout the year, and we are thrilled to have his services once again.

Also raises the teams IQ score significantly.

[Newcastle Blue Star FC @nbsfc2018]

FULL TIME!

GET INNNNNNNN.

What a bloody bunch of players & supporters. 💙

[Newcastle Blue Star FC @nbsfc2018]

Good morning, all. 🔵⭐️

Not bad for a side playing in the Alliance a couple of seasons ago….. 👀

So proud, regardless of what happens next. 💙

The gaffer reflects on a win, a busy couple of weeks, attack vs defence, and looking ahead to the run in.

A rock at the back….yet again. 🪨

Another outstanding performance from this young man, who has absolutely made that centre half position his own since joining in September.
