Finn Harps and Dundalk joined together in Ballybofey this evening before their SSE Airtricity League Premier Division match to pay their respects to the 10 people who lost their lives in Creeslough
Finn Harps and their visitors Dundalk paid their respects to those who lost their life in the tragedy in Creeslough last week, with Uachtarán na hÉireann Michael D Higgins in attendance.
The President is in the county having attended funerals on Wednesday, Thursday and today of those who died last Friday in the explosion at a service station in Creeslough. Ten people in all died.
They, along with everyone in attendance at the Navenny Street ground, joined in as referee Paul McLaughlin conducted a minute's silence, which was impeccably observed.
