23 photos of smiling Derry City fans as Candy Stripes return to winning ways against Dundalk

THE mood around Brandywell was lifted considerably on Friday night as over 3,000 Derry City fans witnessed four goals of the highest quality and most importantly a return to winning ways.

After three winless league matches Ruaidhri Higgins called for a response and the players duly responded with a morale-boosting victory over Dundalk who remain rooted to the bottom of the table after eight matches.

Derry City club photographer KEVIN MORRISON was drafted into the ‘Journal’ starting line-up for match night duties on Friday and delivered a match-winning performance with this selection of fans’ photographs.
