A new sports complex has been officially opened in Gulladuff, Co Londonderry.

The complex includes an indoor synthetic pitch and changing rooms as well as a fitness studio and multi purpose community room.

It is a joint collaboration between Lavey Gaelic Athletic Club and Termoneeny Community Association who have been working together since 2004 to bring about the development of the complex.

Praising the work of both groups, Derry MP and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said: "This magnificent new complex will further enhance the sporting facilities available to young people in this area and indeed the community in general.

"It is a physical example of how co-operation between groups can be the most effective way to address common needs and minimise duplication.

"The variety and scope of the facilities and activities on offer include schools' programmes, sports coaching, and active lifestyle classes, tailored to the needs of all ages," he said.

"I truly believe that this new facility has met the aims of those involved and they should be congratulated on their foresight and conviction to see this project through to completion."

The Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure contributed funding to the project through Sport Northern Ireland's 'Building Sport' programme.
