Connaire McGreevy stepping down as Warrenpoint Town chairman

Warrenpoint Town have announced that Connaire McGreevy is stepping down as chairman.

McGreevy spent four years in the position but has been involved with the club since 2012 as a key sponsor, contributor and director.

He took over as chairman in 2017, the same year the Milltown club earned promotion back to the Premiership.

McGreevy - who will continue working with Warrenpoint in other roles - said the past year had been "the most difficult", and thanked all the club's volunteers and staff who steered them through the coronavirus pandemic.

"I want to thank the volunteers of the club who are the lifeblood putting in hours of work every week," he said.

"Too many to mention individually but they know their work is appreciated by all. I also want to thank the rest of the board for their unwavering support and faith in me.

"Certainly, the last year has been the most difficult and I personally feel that the last two seasons blend into one long one. However, they had support for me and also got on with the tasks that presented themselves as a result of the global pandemic.

"The loyal supporter base of the club has continued to grow over the last few years. They have been superb and understanding in what has been the most difficult of seasons. They will carry the club forward in great style next season."

Warrenpoint Town vice chairman Johnny Bird added: "On behalf of Warrenpoint Town F.C. I would like to thank Connaire for everything he has done at the club.

"His leadership, forward thinking, commitment and vision have been second to none. He has supported the club from every angle.

"As Chairman, As supporter, As sponsor, As representative, As leader, As advisor. His dedication and hard work have brought us to where we are today.

"While he is stepping down as chair, he is still going to represent and sponsor the club and be still part of the set up and again we thank him for this and wish him well with his own major commitments.

"From all at the club, well done and thank you."
