League pays tribute to Gerry Bradley

Mr Bradley, who tragically lost his life along with a work colleague while working in Perth, Australia on Wednesday, played for Portstewart Town and the UUC in the league.

Dr Tom Stark, who is involved with both the UUC football team and the Coleraine and District League, paid tribute to the 27-year-old saying: “Gerry, was a very jovial and friendly person who played for Portstewart Town and then us.

“He used work in the Top House in Portstewart and a popular young man at the club.

“It is a tragic loss and on behalf of UUC and the Coleraine and District League Management Committee I would extend deepest sympathy to the immediate family and wider family circle.”

There will be a minute’s silence prior to UUC’s home game with Ballybogey this Saturday at the Warren.
