WATCH: Check out all SEVEN Derry City goals as Declan Glass marks debut with FAI Cup hat-trick
and live on Freeview channel 276
It was a memorable evening for City debutante Declan Glass who scored a first half hat-trick to announce himself to the home support just a matter of hours after completing his loan move from Dundee United.
The attacking midfielder will remain on Foyleside until the end of November and he's made a blistering start to his City loan spell. Glass set up James Akintunde for the opening goal after just eight minutes.

And when City skipper McEleney handed him the ball when Brandon Kavanagh was brought down inside the penalty area, there was no doubt the gifted playmaker would complete his treble from the spotkick.
Akintunde netted his second in the second half and debutante Mark Connolly marked his first Brandywell appearance with a close range finish before striker Jamie McGonigle finished the scoring late on.
