During lockdown, City Colts players Ciaran Stevenson, Gary Curran, Simon Doherty and John T Doherty took part in an online night of live music to entertain club members and at the same time raise funds for hospital staff.

We are incredibly humbled by the local community for their continued support and generosity during this Covid-19 Pandemic, it is very much appreciated. Thank you all so very much!”
