Brandywell Harps, a club who nurtured the talents of greats such as Liam Coyle, reaches the half century this year with celebration plans including a gala anniversary dinner dance in October and the running of a competition that has become an institution in the city, the Pat Harkin Summer Cup, now sponsored by local firm, Windows 2000 (North).

With the action having moved from it’s once traditional home of the Brandywell Showgrounds to the grass pitch at Magee’s Duncreggan student village, the blue riband summer cup is once again expected to attract the cream of Derry’s footballing talents. This year’s competition will be supporting local charity group ‘Destined’, a voluntary organisation with centres in Derry and in Feeny that seek to address the needs of people with learning disabilities in a whole life context.
