17-year-old Alex Smallwoods who sadly lost his life in Co Derry collision

The young man who tragically died in a two-vehicle collision in Co Derry at the weekend has been named.

Alex Smallwood lost life in the accident involving a Vauxhall Insignia and a Vauxhaull Corsa on the Glenshane Road, Dungiven.

In a Facebook posting, Brigade Cricket Club paid tribute to the teenager.

“Everyone at the club has been left devastated at the news that 17-year-old Alex Smallwoods lost his life in a road traffic collision on Sunday.

“Alex was an extremely popular young player at our club and will be sorely missed by his many friends.

“He had come through all the various youth teams in recent years and had progressed to play in our 2nds and 3rds on a regular basis.

“Always seen with a smile on his face, and with a love and enthusiasm for cricket, Alex was always a pleasure to have in the team.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his mum and dad Sara & Stewart, his sister Hannah and the entire family circle at this very difficult time.”

The club added: “As a mark of respect to the Smallwoods family, Brigade Cricket Club will close the clubhouse on Wednesday and Thursday evening.

“Bingo is cancelled as a result.

“All midweek games are also cancelled.”

SDLP Foyle MLA Mark H Durkan reacted to the post, saying: “Devastating news.💔

“Our thoughts and praying are with Alex’s family and young friends at this awful time.

“It’s truly heartbreaking when someone so young,so full of life, is taken so suddenly.

“Cherish every minute you have and share as much love as you can.”
