From a Moorefield F.C. awards evening to Derry' s National League encounter with Meath in Celtic Park, the Journal was out and about capturing the great and the good of the Derry sporting public in a month that also saw the Ulster Indoor (although it wasn't all indoor!) Athletics Championships at Templemore. Maybe you'll recognise some of faces. Take a look . . .
