City Launch Partnership with St. Joseph’s Boys School

Derry City FC formally launched its new partnership with St Joseph’s Boys’ School on Monday evening at a well attended event held at the Creggan college.

Backed by the Steven Gerrard Academy (SGA), the launch was attended by Derry City FC management and players as well as parents and students currently enrolled.

School Principal Mrs Ciara Deane was joined by teaching colleagues and School Board members as well as the Bishop of Derry, Donal McKeown.

Speakers at the function included Principal Deane and Danny Harrison from SGA both of whom explained the importance of education and training for a wide array of opportunities both inside football and beyond.

Derry City FC Technical Director Mark McChrystal will lead the new partnership in tandem with both the college and the Gerrard Academy and applications are now open for consideration.
