It was another packed house on Foyleside and this match didn’t disappoint with three goals, two penalties, impressive debuts and the return of some of Derry’s star players who made a big impact from the bench.
The win moved Derry to within four points of league leaders Shamrock Rovers to reignite their title hopes and our photographer George Sweeney captured some fantastic snaps as the Brandywell Faithful enjoyed a last ditch victory.
