DERRY City fans were served up a fantastic performance against their league title rivals Shelbourne as they knocked the Dubliners out of the FAI Cup in Saturday’s quarter-final tie at Brandywell.

The Lone Moor Road venue was packed to capacity and the atmosphere was electric as goals from Michael Duffy and Danny Mullen saw off the challenge of Damien Duff’s outfit. Our photographer George Sweeney was at the ground to catch some memorable moments for Derry fans who will be dreaming of a league and cup double.
