The Candy Stripes travel to the Aviva Stadium for next weekend’s showdown with a large travelling support expected to make the trip.
There are 25,000 tickets sold already for the final, so a fantastic atmosphere is expected.
Derry Journal photographer George Sweeney made the trip to O’Neills Shop in Waterloo Place on Saturday morning, to capture some of the fans who left good luck messages for Ruaidhrí Higgins’ side.
