History
In 1941, Bangor Young Men was founded, becoming the first junior side in Bangor. They came into existence when members of the First Bangor Young Men social organization broke away to establish the Bangor Young Men Social Club, which then created a football team.
The club's first chairman was Syd Maguire, a Bangor sports writer. The other founding members of the 1940 team included David Geary, Jackie Burns, and Eddie Barry. Barry later became a successful administrator, holding positions as secretary of the Churches League, director of Bangor F.C., and a representative for both the Irish Football Association and UEFA.
Bangor Young Men would play in the Churches League up until 1981, when they were accepted into the Northern Amateur Football League for the 1981/82 season. [10]
In 2020, the club was named North East Region Club of the year by the Irish Football Association. [11] Coach Lee Scott won Volunteer of the Year and the North East Wes Gregg Coach of the Year award in 2021 and 2022 respectively. [12] [13]
