Diamond Corrugated extends Derry City sponsorship deal
Paul Diamond, Managing Director of ‘Diamond Corrugated’, is a life-long supporter of the Candy Stripes and was chairman of the club in the mid-90s, including the year Derry City last won the Premier Division title in the 1996/1997 season.
The deal is believed to be one of the largest sponsorship deals of any club on the island of Ireland.
