The Magheramason side just missed out on back-to-back titles to Newbuildings in 2022, but did collect silverware when they collected the Eric Cooke Cup.

David Scanlon is once again captain. entrusted with the armband for the 12th consectutive season, while the affable and ever consistent Irosh Samrasooriya is back as overseas professional to continue his excellent work on and off the field.

There was a blow with the recent news that Scott Macbeth was leaving after just one season to join Brigade, but there are strong indications that will be tempered with Brigade's Kyle Magee strongly rumoured to be moving in the opposite direction.

Club Chairman Norman Allen wouldn't be drawn on the speculation but it appears to be a 'done deal' at this stage.

"We are looking forward to another season both on and off the field," said Allen.

"It's great to see the growth of our club with the both the ladies and youth sections developing, improving and epanding.

"It's a real boost to have 'Roshi' back to help with the development. We now have a great team of coaches helping with our sides and 2023 should be another great season for the club."

Bready senior men start their campaign on Saturday April 29th with a home Premier League game against Killyclooney.
