Players and officials stand for a minute of silence in remembrance of the people who lost their lives in the Creeslough tragedy and, inset, Michael D Higgins
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.
Dundalk captain Andy Boyle, League of Ireland director Mark Scanlon and Republic of Ireland Under-19 head coach Tom Mohan - a former Finn Harps player - brought out wreaths in remembrance as both squads stood on the halfway line with the local Ballybofey United.
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.
