A scoreless first half saw chances for both sides with the two goalkeepers in fine form.

Lady luck was not in the side of Trojans early in the second half when a cross from the right saw an unlucky Brian McCarron head into his own goals.

Derry went two up ten minutes later when Evan Tweed slotted home to make it 2-0.

In the dying minutes, City made it 3-0 when Jake Malone tapped in from close range following good work on the right by Sean McBride.

City u-15s lose out

in penalties

Derry City under-15s were unlucky to lose out in penalties at the Brandywell yesterday evening against a very good Scottish side, Partick Thistle.

An even first half saw Partick create the better chances but poor finishing in front of goal and some fine saves from Derry netminder Kyle Burns kept the game scoreless.

The second period was much of the same, again Partick on top in the chances tally with the best being a 25 yard shot from Matthew Collins which Burns touched onto the crossbar before going over for a corner.

And on to penalties to decide and it was the Scottish side that carried away the O’Neills Foyle Cup under-15 trophy.

Candystripes u-17s too strong for Altrincham

The Candystripes under-17 team came away with a 3-1 victory over English side Altrincham in the evening kick off at the Brandywell.

Altrincham took the lead through a penalty after four minutes and this spurred the local side on with constant pressure on the visitors final third.

In a tough physical encounter, the home side equalized through a fantastic volley from 18 yards out to finish the half level.

The Derry side were on top in the second period and two further goals saw them run out comfortable winners.
