Cregagh have remembered nine of their members killed during the First World War.

Officials and community representatives gathered to unveil storyboards at a special service at the club grounds on Saturday.

"I’ve always been aware of the story, and wondered if I could track down information on the nine members who died – to find out what happened to them and what was their story, where exactly did they live, and even what did they look like,” club historian Graham Watt told the News Letter.

“I wanted the story about the formation of the club, and these nine members, to be told, because I thought it was so fascinating myself.

"More recently, I’ve been getting asked ‘what are you going to do with all of that information,’ so we thought of the idea of the storyboards.”

32 club members in total fought in the war, and the club wanted to ensure their service was remembered.

There was a magnificent turn out at the unveiling of the ‘Naming of the Ground’ Boards.

These boards are the latest installation around the Sports Club to shed some light to members and visitors how the name ‘Cregagh Memorial Recreation Ground’ originated, with this year marking 100 years since the name was born.

“The boards are a great read and a must for anyone who has any interest in knowing our beginning,” said a club spokesperson.

“We had the pleasure of welcoming members of the cricket section both past and present, politicians, historians and members of the McQuiston Church who enjoyed the break in the weather.

“Congratulations to Graham Watt who saw this project right through from the birth of the idea to the finished product which was installed this morning. A fine decorative piece which will last a lifetime meaning so much to a lot of people.”
