‘Football at the Heart’ explores a remarkable footballing journey spanning over five decades in the Brandywell area of the city — a small housing estate, just half a mile in radius, that has produced some of Derry’s greatest sporting talents.

From the rise of Brandywell Harps, through the decline of local football, to the birth of Ballymoor FC and their long road home to the Daisy Field — a story shaped by community, dedication and a love of the game.

Now, football is back where it belongs — at the heart of the Brandywell.
