There was plenty of action with the referee showing red cards to Drogheda’s Emmanuel Adegboyega and manager Kevin Doherty in the first half and to Derry defender Cameron McJannet in the second half as the visitors went on to clinch a first win on Foyleside since September 2015.
It was another full house at Brandywell for the first of a double header of home fixtures and there will no doubt be another bumper crowd for the visit of league leaders Bohemians managed by former City boss Declan Devine on Easter Monday.
Check out these fantastic snaps from ‘Journal’ photographer George Sweeney and make sure to tag and share if you recognise anyone.
