Former Harps star Maurice Toland, a former Kildrum player and manager, was in attendance, as was Derry and District League chief Michael Hutton, local goalkeeping coach Alan Ryan, sponsor Liam Toland and St Baithin’s NS Principal Ann-Marie Meehan.
St Johston’s Tyler Toland, who has been called into the Republic of Ireland squad, was another of the guests of honour on the night.

“It was a great turnout from players, parents and friends to highlight the great achievements of the lads during the season,” said Shane Porter, joint manager of the Kildrum Under-13, who this season competed in the Galway Cup.
“A big thanks from the club for Matthew Whoriskey, Dominic Dunne and Ryan Kennedy for coming out tonight who were part of our Galway Cup squad this season.
“I would like to thank the special guests who came tonight, the boys who won the awards. It’s been a great season for all of us and highlights the efforts that we put in this season. Hopefully they can continue this next season.”
