FOOTBALL fans on the north coast will not miss a piece of the action during the World Cup.
Matches in the month-long tournament are to be shown on a massive 22ft cinema screen at the Portrush Playhouse.
The coverage in such a format is thought to be the largest of its kind across the province.

To make the sporting experience even more enthralling, all the action from South Africa will be presented in high definition.
A spokeswoman for the Playhouse said they were pleased to be able to show the biggest games in the world on the biggest screen in the country.

"We thought it was a great idea to promote the World Cup in Portrush and bring business into the town as people come to watch the football," she said.
"We are expecting huge crowds. We have a 250-seat cinema and we are expecting it to be completely full."
She added: "We are confident it is the biggest licensed screen in Northern Ireland."

The Playhouse is Portrush's newest entertainment venue and comprises cinema screens, bars, a nightclub and tapas bar.
