Dave Edge has painstakingly tracked down a large number of ex players
(and is still doing so as i write) to play in a charity game In memory of Gary Dullaghan. Gary died at the age of 42 and leaves his wife and three children behind. Those of you who knew Gary will know what a larger than life character he was, he played football and lived his life with a smile on his face. He will be sadly missed but never forgotten. He Captained Morecambe to the Conference, his name is embedded in the Morecambe FC history books and his name will live on at the club forever.

The Fun starts at 12 noon on Sunday 3rd September, entrance is £3.00 for Adults £1.00 for children. There will be a bouncy castle to entertain the children and the Match Kicks Off at 2.00pm. JB's Bar is open all afternoon.

Jim Harvey Manager, Stuart Drummond Assistant Manager.
The Team. Steve McIlhargey, Paul Burns, Paul Tomlinson, Ben Lavelle, Paul Taylor, Ian Cain, Andy Grimshaw, John Coleman, Jim McKluskie.
