63 fantastic Derry City fans photos from a week of highs and lows at Brandywell

IT WAS a week of contrasting emotions for Derry City fans at Brandywell as Derry City exited the Uefa Conference League at the first hurdle before a stunning victory in the FAI Cup.

A week can be a long time in football and it certainly was a rollercoaster four days for Candy Stripes supporters who suffered the disappointment of being dumped out of Europe by Bruno’s Magpies on Thursday night.

Fast forward to Sunday and that gloom was quickly lifted and there was renewed hope amongst the fanbase when Ruaidhri Higgins’ side steamrolled past the challenge of holders St Pat’s in the FAI Cup to progress to the third round.

Our photographer GEORGE SWEENEY was at Brandywell on both nights and captured some excellent shots of supporters around the ground.
