Delighted Brian Maher & Adam O’Reilly have signed up for another couple of seasons. In my view, @brianmaher00 has been the outstanding player at the club and goalkeeper in Ireland over the last three seasons while @adamoreilly28 was our best player last year.

Children from Ardnashee School and College got the chance to record Teenage Kicks with the band who originally made it a hit, The Undertones. It all took place as part of a programme to promote inclusion by Derry City football club. Our North-West reporter, Keiron Tourish reports


Really sad news. Ken was a brilliant journalist and lovely man. Frequently first to the story and seldom without one. With impressive sources, impeccable judgement and immense influence Ken was on the best. Condolences to his family and friends.

Former UTV Political Editor Ken Reid dies at age of 69, family says itv.com/news/utv/2024-…



Desperately disappointing it didn’t work out for Ruaidhrí Higgins @derrycityfc Great memories on the pitch but a class act and gentleman off it. No more so than when he surprised our Lúcás by turning up at his birthday party. Best wishes and good luck Ruaidhrí.

A very proud young man picking up the medals this week on behalf of his Culmore Youth FC team mates from Derry City’s Michael Duffy at the end of the Foyle Games Development Centre season. And always happy to bump into his good friend Joe Thomson.

A painful end to a painful season but congratulations to @shelsfc and Damien Duff. Deserved league champions. #loi


Bring in a club legend striker to restore the feel good factor. What could possibly go wrong? #MUFC

So sad to hear the passing of Italy’s Toto Schillaci, what a player and goal scorer. RIP #respect

Unashamed proud parent post - five goals on his debut at the Brandywell tonight. Five more than I ever scored.

Punishment heating, surely…

'This is about a punishment beating' Tory MP Edward Leigh accuses Labour of punishing people who have 'worked all their life' and retired on low incomes, by withdrawing their winter fuel payments.



I’m usually pretty loyal to all the players who represent the teams I like. But this guy was an utter waste of space and should never have been allowed to put on the shirt again. Ralph Milne was a more effective winger for United than Sancho.

ℹ️ Jadon Sancho has joined Chelsea on an initial loan deal for the 2024/25 season. #MUFC



Didn’t enjoy the result but have to say the two @GalwayUnitedFC commentators on @LeagueofIreland tv were superb especially the little bits as Gaelige - Maith sibh #LOI #loitv


Back in the day ‘the Olympic Flame’ was an apocryphal nickname in many a newsroom for a reporter or journalist who ‘never went out’ on a job. #Olympics


Big goal…need to put Rovers out of sight and turn it into a two horse race with Shels for the title.

Huge thank you to @derrycityfc boss Ruaidhrí Higgins, @brianmaher00 and @adamoreilly28 for a magical surprise visit to Lúcás’ 6th birthday party. ‘Best weekend ever,’ he said. And great job by Active Clothing on the printing for his @dcfcmerch shirts.

Both Hales were superb yesterday. Fondly remembered from their time at Brandywell. Delighted for them and the other ex candy stripes in the Clifton like team - Gartside and Mallon.

Unbelievable 🤯 Ronan Hale celebrates as he runs the length of the pitch to put the ball into an empty net ⚽ #BBCFootball #BBCIrishCup



We got off very lightly on this one.
