South Belfast Young Conquerors F.B.
South Belfast Young Conquerors Flute Band was formed in September 1977 after the breaking up of Donegall Pass Defenders FB. Some remaining members held the band together and with community support a new band was formed and the marching season of 1978 saw the arrival of South Belfast Young Conquerors…
The band to this day is still situated in Donegall Pass the small and often forgot about loyalist enclave off the Lower Ormeau Road.
Over the years the band has attracted members from Lisburn, Newtownards and as far away as Castlederg…
The band was also the last loyalist band to walk up and down the Lower Ormeau Road accompanying Ballynafeigh LOL District number 10 to their annual church service in Belfast’s Ulster Hall…
For the last 24 years South Belfast Young Conquerors have had the pleasure of accompanying LOL 890 Kane Memorial to the field on the 12th of July. These numerous years have seen a bond created which hopefully will last for many years to come.
In 1981 the band was presented with standards of the 2nd Belfast Battalion Ulster Volunteer Force, to this day these standards and battle honours are carried with pride and dignity…
South Belfast Young Conquerors FB is an integral part of the Donegall Pass community and are participants in many community events throughout the year. We also hope that one day we can have our own premises in Donegall Pass as the places we use do not always meet our needs.
South Belfast Young Conquerors would like to thank member’s families, LOL 890, 2nd Belfast Battalion Ulster Volunteer Force and the loyalist people of Donegall Pass, Scotland and England for their continued support, it is very much appreciated.
