UUP Sports Spokesman commends Derry City FC after Brave Performance in Paris
UUP Sports Spokesperson Trevor Ringland today congratulated Derry City FC on their brave performance last night against top French club Paris St. Germain.
“I want to congratulate the players and fans of Derry City football club on doing us all proud last night”, said Mr Ringland. “Whilst at the end of the day the result was disappointing, the Derry players put in a very creditable performance against an elite European football team. This was the closest a club from either Irish football league has ever come to participating in the group stages of European competition”.
“In particular, I would like to commend Derry City’s fans for their enthusiasm, and for being such superb ambassadors for their city. People across the Province can learn a great deal from their positivity. Derry’s fans showed all of us the true positive character of people here and it’s to all of our shame that we often can’t show such a constructive attitude at home to each other.
The people of the Maiden City can feel proud of their team’s achievements this season in Europe - all of us can only hope that the best from Stephen Kenny’s team is yet to come”.
