Derry City fans were in buoyant mood going into the international break as the club’s rise under interim boss Mark Connolly continued with a 1-0 victory over Galway United at Brandywell.

The Monaghan man has guided the team to fourth spot on 41 points with this latest win – a fifth in all competitions – as Derry promise to salvage some pride from a difficult year.

Photographer Kevin Morrison was at Brandywell on Friday night to capture these fantastic snaps of fans who are riding the crest of a wave at present.
