Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Councillor Ruairí McHugh, has hosted a civic reception for the Committee of the Eamonn ‘Bronco’ Bradley Summer Cup to mark the tournament’s 40th anniversary.What started as a community tournament between different streets in Shantallow and Galliagh has grown into a prestigious city wide tournament played on the playing pitches at Leafair.

“I was delighted to have the opportunity to recognise this real institution in Derry soccer,” said Mayor McHugh. “The Eamon Bronco Bradley Summer Cup has been a great platform for local footballers to play competitively over the years and attracts huge crowds to the Leafair pitches. Congratulations to everyone who has been involved over the last 40 years and good luck to the committee for the future.”
