WHAT a truly great read in The Press about the Golden age of the Golden Ball (Pints of View, February 9). I applaud everyone involved, and wish you much luck and success for the future.

Isn’t it refreshing to see some are taking the initiative and providing what a community needs: a local pub, run for and by locals.

I hope people support it, and others in the area visit to help them along.

I will, sometime in March, on my return to my home city.

Well done all.
