Goalkeeper, Nathan Gartside's selection in Ian Baraclough's Northern Ireland senior squad for World Cup qualifiers against Italy and Bulgaria was sufficient for Derry to request a postponement.

The fixture has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 13th at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium. Kick-off time 7.45p.m.

Derry will next play against Waterford at Brandywell on April 3rd before travelling to St Pat's on April 9th.

Declan Devine's troops will face two home matches against Rovers and Drogheda United in the space of four days.
