After the disappointment of a 1-0 defeat to Sligo Rovers the previous season, goals from Peter Hutton and Stuart Gauld were enough to bring the trophy back to the Brandywell for the first time since the Candystripes secured an historic treble in the 1988/89 season.
Thousands attended that game. Here is a selection of photographs.
