The inaugural North West Charity Cup will take place at Magee on Sunday, November 30th, with 12 teams taking part from across Derry, Strabane and Donegal.
Organisers hope the event will help develop and promote underage girls football in the north west with all proceeds going to charities. This year’s chosen charities are St. Vincent de Paul and Hope Mission Zambia, who are directly affiliated with the Hope Dropinn shop in Newtowncunningham.
“Our vison is the North West Charity Cup will rotate annually between Derry, Strabane and Donegal,” explained organiser Brian Murray, “Next year we hope to hold it in Inishowen clubs with 24 teams participating.”
