Council’s Museum Service is proud to unveil a new football themed display in Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre this July.

The display was officially opened by Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Councillor Ciarán McQuillan and features the 2023 SuperCupNI, Premier Winners trophy won by the County Londonderry team and associated memorabilia.

Thanks to David Reid and Alan Robinson, MLA, the trophy will now be on display in the museum gallery in Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre.

Last year’s winning County Londonderry team made history in 2023 when they lifted the trophy in the Boys Premier Section for the first time. Jacob Dallas scored the only goal at the final, held at Ballymena Showgrounds, where the team played against Tigres UNAL from Mexico.

The Mayor, who met with officials from the team congratulated them on their success and wished them good luck for the this year’s SuperCupNI competition.
