No time for fear in Derry City camp

TO find a mirror image of the excitement in Cork, head north to Derry where league fever has also gripped the city.

"The mood is hectic at the Brandywell," reports Derry City boss Stephen Kenny. "People are frantic for tickets for Saturday and for Cork, which are obviously in short supply. So it's a busy time for the club.

"From a football point of view, we've been playing well in recent weeks. Even in our defeat by Waterford, we played very well. But we went to Dublin and beat UCD and Bray 5-0 on aggregate, so we're in good form."
