Clarky Dempster said he was “emotional” after his beloved Orangefield secured their safety on the last day of the season.
While much else remains to be resolved in the division, not least who will finally claim a place in the top flight, for Dempster’s men, Saturday brought the curtain down on their current campaign, and they did it with a flourish in a high-pressure game, edging out Newcastle 4-2 at the Cregagh Sports Ground to make absolutely sure of their 1A status.
“I was saying earlier in the season that my objective was to remain in 1A and I couldn’t be prouder of the boys, they gave me everything,” said Dempster.
