Antrim & Newtownabbey Teams out and about the local hotspot areas.

Some local Glengormley businesses getting it hard at the moment with young ones messing about in their stores.

But other parks and areas have been good recently. William and Sam were in V36 and those skateboarders are so talented. The tricks they can do are amazing!

Young people today took part in the activities with the vision impairment goggles on playing hockey cones, bat the ball, velcro catch and our substance kit.

What a great group of people and some brilliant conversations.
