believe it is important to contribute to the local community and I am glad
that our support can play a role in harvesting and developing the young talent
in the area.

"I wish all participants of the Foyle Cup tournament the best of luck,
especially those in the under-10 category, and I am sure they will give their
family and friends a lot to cheer about!"
