Derry City 2(McNamee, McBride) Shamrock Rovers 1(Rice)
Derry notched up their sixth straight victory last night after a hard fought battle against Trevor Croly’s Shamrock Rovers side, who certainly posed a challenge to the home side. Three second half goals and a frantic end to the game eventually saw City hold on to claim all three points but this was certainly far from an easy victory for the Candystripes.
Bohemians 0 Derry City 4
The post match reaction of the players told’s it own story. No wild celebration, the squad just congratulated each other and exited the pitch. This was a chance of very much job done for City as they came to Dublin and put a toothless Bohs side to the sword on their own patch. The scoreline may have made the rest of the League sit up and take notice, but it was a clinical performance from a new look Candystripe side.

Derry City 2 St Patrick’s Athletic 1
City signed off the 2012 Airtricty League campaign with a home victory in front of the Brandywell faithful. First half goals from Simon Madden and David McDaid were enought ot secure all three points for the home side, despite a spirited second half come back from the visitors, who may feel that could have grabbed a point right at the end.
