One week after their stunning performance at the Aviva Stadium where they brushed aside the challenge of a stunned Shelbourne in a record one-sided 4-0 victory, the Derry City duo made the visit to the Francis Street school where they were greeted by an excited group of children, some of whom were decked in the red and white Candystripes.
FAI Cup fever is still strong in the city and school children and students took the opportunity to pose for pictures with the famous trophy. Our photographer Jim McCafferty was on hand to capture the special occasion.
