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.

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.

On this day 30 years ago, Derry City lifted the FAI Cup with a 2-1 win over Shelbourne. To mark the anniversary, Dee Curran speaks with Dermot O'Neill, the captain of that victorious side. In this candid interview, Dermot reflects on the joy and relief of finally securing silverware in his career. He shares memories of teammates like Stuart Gault and Peter Hutton, recalls the dramatic semi-final battles with Bohemians, and opens up about his departure from the club following the cup triumph.

Dee Curran sits down with former Derry City manager Tony O'Doherty to relive the unforgettable 1993-94 season. Taking over from Roy Coyle amid financial chaos, director resignations, and a rocky start, Tony became the “yellow pack” boss who guided a depleted squad to a top-six finish, a Bord Gáis Cup win, and an FAI Cup Final. From holding his first training session in The Park Bar, to tales of securing Peter Reid for a friendly, keeping Liam Coyle at the club, and stories with cameos of Luther Blissett, Neil McNabb, Kevin "Crack" McKeever and Glasgow Celtic legend, Bobby Lennox. This episode is packed with character, crisis, and classic City resilience.
