New grass pitch at Derry City FC’s Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium taking shape

It will be good to touch the green, green grass of home when the new £1.4m pitch at Derry City FC’s Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium is fully bedded in.

The pitch has already been seeded by Hayden Turfcare Ltd. and with the fine growing weather the club is hopeful its scheduled home fixture against Drogheda United on June 26 can be played on the surface.

In March the old 3G pitch was removed ahead of schedule.

Work continues on the new hybrid grass and synthetic grass filament pitch
