Congratulations to everyone in St. Josephs FC Athlone on completing the criteria for the FAI Club Mark Entry Level Award. The FAI Club Mark is an award for grassroots clubs based on best practice in their governance, management and administration. The programme aims to support and encourage clubs to improve standards off the field with the result of having Stronger Clubs and a Stronger Game.

Well organised clubs with strong structures and volunteers are best placed to promote football and develop players. More than ever, it is essential that we as a club are well organised in all areas of club management and we are delighted with this award as recognition for the hard work that goes on behind the scenes.

Well done to everyone involved.
