Formby Junior Sports Club’s Annual Presentation Evening was held at St. Jerome’s Church Hall on Friday June 14 th in front of a packed audience.

Club Chairman and Master of Ceremonies Frank Rourke paid tribute to all the many voluntary helpers who had helped in the organisation of Formby Junior Sports Club since it was founded sixty years ago.
