13 brilliant photos as Holy Family Primary School go red and white for FAI Cup finalists Derry City

Derry City’s Paul McMullan and Conor Barr paid a visit to young Candy Stripe fans at Holy Family Primary School this week as FAI Cup Final hits fever pitch.

Since the Brandywell club’s school visits have started, we’ve seen some fantastic displays of support for Ruaidhri Higgins’ troops and the Ballymagroarty school were the latest to turn red and white in support of their Derry City heroes who take on Drogheda United in Sunday’s Sports Direct FAI Cup Final.

From decorations to singalongs, Derry City players and staff have been greeted with some fantastic scenes during the build-up to Sunday’s showpiece where the Foylesiders attempt to win a second trophy in three season.

Check out these fantastic photos taken by our photographer George Sweeney.
