Watch Drogheda United's video 'Our Town, Our Club' that highlights the town's community spirit

Drogheda United have released a promotion video ahead of their new season in the League of Ireland.

The video focuses on some of the players who make their way around the town in the full Drogheda United kit, visiting their sponsors along with some of the towns most recognisable places on the way.

The video was shot by young filmmaker Conor McGuinness from Drogheda.

Speaking to the Irish Daily Mirror Conor said: "I've been a Drogheda fan all my life.

"I started studying film in Dundalk IT and set up a little video production company on the side.

"When the chairperson heard about what I did he sat down with me and asked if I'd be interested in doing a video for him. We bounced a few ideas off of each other and came up with the 'Our Town, Our Club' concept.

"We got the players, sponsors and wider community involved, with all the bad publicity the town has been getting it's great to show how great of a community we really are."

The reaction Conor has received has been extremely positive but he said he won't be getting too carried away.

"I've one year left in college, after that I'll hopefully get the business going full time and do more videos such as this one. I've a lot of work still to do but i do want to go full time after college."
