Tiernan Lynch believes Michael Duffy is the best player in the League and could play for the Republic of Ireland.

MNL's Patrick Cooke caught up with Michael Duffy after scoring the winning goal against a resilient Sligo Rovers at the Brandywell on Sunday afternoon.

In another all never say die performance from the Candystripes, Michael Duffy scored with a close range header in the dying seconds at the Brandywell to beat Sligo Rovers 1-0. We hear from Tiernan Lynch and the moment our Commentary team "lost it" when Duffy scores..

Originally aired in full on Drive 105 Match Night Live's Countdown to Kick-Off (September 12th), this interview sees Dee Curran in conversation with former Republic of Ireland and Derry City goalkeeper David Forde. They dive into his book Being The One, where David opens up about his well-documented ‘red mist' moments, struggles with imposter syndrome, and the sliding doors moments that shaped his career. He reflects on the highs of Wembley play-offs with Millwall, shares his ideal centre-back pairing at the Derry City, and talks about his relationship with Stephen Kenny, including the one decision from Kenny that still leaves him questioning to this day.

Interview by Dee Curran

Former Derry City player Denis Tueart returned to the city on September 20th to mark the 40th Anniversary of the club's first competitive game under the FAI. In conversation with Dee Curran, Denis reflects on his time with the club – from Eamonn McLaughlin persuading him to sign, to his experiences of the security situation in the city during that era. He discusses whether he felt pressure as a marquee signing, and clears up the long-debated moment: was his famous setup for Barry McCreadie's goal a cross or a mis-hit shot?

Dermot Liddy spoke to Tiernan Lynch after the game.

Derry City travel to Sligo Rovers on Saturday night full of confidence. Manager Tiernan Lynch is keen to keep his team's momentum going, saying there's “no reason to change a winning formula.” Michael Duffy, fresh off winning the Player of the Month award, will be a key figure as Derry look to close the gap at the top. Adding further firepower, new signing Dipo Akinyemi joins on a multi-year deal, giving Lynch more options in attack. Sligo, struggling for form, face a tough task against a Derry side with eyes firmly on the title race.

Dipo Akinyemi is a forward who has previously played for clubs including York City and Ayr United. Known for his physical presence and reliable goal-scoring, he joins Derry City on a multi-year contract. His addition is expected to strengthen the team's attacking options for the upcoming seasons.
