Justice for Ryan

The 14-year-old (pictured) died after he was struck by a train in Portrush on 30 January last year.

He had been at a birthday party in McLaughlin's Bar.

During the evening he was assaulted and later chased from the bar towards the railway track where he was hit by a train and died instantly.

On Saturday Ryan's family held a football match in his memory at Rugby Avenue in Coleraine.

They have also produced wristbands bearing the slogan 'Justice for Ryan'.

"We had a good turnout on the day and the weather was really good," Ryan's mum Lisa told the Times.

"It was my partner who came up with the idea for the wristbands which we got online. We bought 500 and there are only 60 left.

"We wanted to buy Mountfern a football strip because they haven't had one for a long time.

"I want to thank everyone who bought the wristbands, turned up on the day and those who made sandwiches.

"Also to my brother Clint and cousin Stephen Fleming who organised the match."

Afterwards family and friends went to the Montra Club for tea and sandwiches.

"We were able to sit and have a nice chat. I know that Ryan will not be forgotten."

Last Thursday would have been Ryan's 16th birthday - instead Lisa, dad Ivan and sister Zara are still grieving.

"Hopefully someone will come forward about his death. That is all I live for," added Lisa.

A decision on whether to prosecute a 23-year-old man and 17-year-old boy is expected soon.

The detective leading the hunt for Ryan's killers has hit out at those with information, who have as yet failed to come forward.

"I want to ask them again to look into their hearts and examine their consciences," said Detective Chief Inspector Ian Harrison.
