Ballykeel compete in Ian Boyd Memorial tournament
The competition was set up in memory of a young Ballymena man who tragically took his own life in November 2006 aged just 19.
The tournament’s purpose is not only to serve as a memorial to Ian but also to serve as a means of highlighting the increasingly rising numbers of people taking their own lives, especially those of young adults.
