Players from Mulroy Academy have been chosen as flag bearers for Sunday’s FAI Cup final at the Aviva Stadium.

Derry City face Drogheda United in the showpiece final at 3pm.

When the players emerge from the tunnel, they will be greeted by players from Mulroy Academy, who will be displaying the centre circle flag prior to kick off. 

Two of the club’s underage squads will make up the bearer party in front of a huge crowd expected to be in attendance.
