Drive105 Match Night Live

Interview by Dermot Liddy

On the back of an away win to Cork City last Friday, Derry City travel to Drogheda, who have been a thorn in in Derry's side with the Cup Final loss and under Tiernan Lynch beaten 3 -1 at the Brandywell. We hear from the manager ahead of tonight's game

Ahead of Friday’s trip to Drogheda, Dee Curran caught up with Derry City captain Mark Connolly to discuss his own form, what the armband has (or hasn’t) changed about him, and why Drogheda remains one of the toughest away days in the league. Listen now as Mark talks leadership, mindset, and momentum.

In this episode, Sean Friars joins Dee Curran to revisit the unforgettable 2002 FAI Cup Semi-Final clash against Cork City at Turner's Cross – a tie played in front of a then record 8,000-strong crowd. Sean reflects on the atmosphere, the influence of David Kelly, and the emergence of a young Kevin Deery, who stepped up in a big way. He also speaks candidly about playing without Peter Hutton, the decisive penalty award, and whether he misjudged the flight of the ball for his goal that night. A must-listen for Derry City fans who remember the magic of that cup run.

A huge 3 points on the road for Derry City tonight as they ran out winners away to Cork City by 2 goals to one. With a goal each half by Liam Boyce 24' and Kevin Holt scoring his first and winning goal for the candystripes on 81'. The result puts Derry joint top of the league with Shamrock Rovers.  Plus we hear the latest from the manager on Adam O'Reilly, as he has been sent to the local hospital after the game.
