The players sang and danced on stage with their loyal supporters, each taking a turn to lift the cup. After the event, the players walked around the crowds, signing jerseys, hats and flags of their young fans and posed for photos to capture the moment forever.
Indeed, that will be a night many young Derry fans remember forever.
