New MIRFC board elected at AGM

On 14th November 2024, Munich Irish Rovers Football Club e.V. held its annual general members' meeting. With the two-year board term completed, a new board was elected by the 57 members in attendance at München Billard & Bowling Paradies in Giesing.

Two of the five serving board members stepped down. Chairman Michael Willcox concluded his six-year tenure as the club's leading figure to focus on his role as co-coach of the Men's B-Team. Known for his contributions as the St. Patrick's Day coordinator, Mike will continue representing MIRFC at Munich Irish Network meetings and assist in organising the annual Paddy's Day parade alongside his successor, Matteo Napoli. Matteo, an A-Team defender who joined the club in 2021, has taken on the chairman role after a knee injury earlier this year inspired him to contribute off the pitch as well.

After four years as Treasurer, A-Team centre-back Simone Moriconi passed the torch to Ladies' midfielder Carli Malone. A member of the Rovers since 2021, Carli has been an active participant in the Ladies' team, organising events and encouraging players to confirm their availability on time.

The other three board members - Vice Chairwoman Ella McGovern, Director of Football Matt Hardy, and Secretary Anna Sophia Vollmerhausen - were re-elected for another two-year term.

The club extends its huge thanks to Mike and Simone for their dedicated service and warmly welcomes Matteo and Carli to their new roles!
