Court: DCFC may be the answer

Derry City’s return to senior football may be the only outlet for a man with excess energy, Londonderry Magistrates’ Court has been told.

Brendan Kearney said his client, who is charged with assaulting a British soldier and disorderly behaviour, was a man of some energy which had been displayed in a physical and vocal manner in the past. He said he had seen him shedding his energy vocally at DCFC’s historic opening match in League of Ireland competitions.

“Maybe this is all he’s been missing,” he said.
