A red letter weekend for City of Derry RFC started in superb fashion when the club hosted it’s annual club dinner on Friday night.

BBC commentating legend Jim Neilly was the club’s special guest for a wonderful evening that was followed on Saturday by Richard McCarter’s First XV getting their League Table Junior Cup, Pool A off to a winning start with a five try bonus point 11-36 victory over Carrickfergus. A great weekend all round for the ‘Green and Black’ . . .
