Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Councillor Elisha McCallion, hosted a reception in the Guildhall on Thursday night to acknowledge the success and hard work of those involved in local football.

The Sports Recognition Awards event was organised by the Mayor to recognise the grassroots work being carried out by the Irish FA to promote soccer and to get young people involved in the sport.

As part of the ceremony, local clubs were presented with their Irish FA McDonald’s Foundation Club Mark certificates while those who have made an invaluable contribution to the sport were also recognised.
