Derry invite Linfield to bridge gap

IRISH League champions Linfield will bridge a 34-year gap when David Jaffrey’s team travel to the Brandywell at the end of the season for a friendly with Derry City.

The famous Belfast Blues have accepted an invitation from Derry chaiman Jim Roddy to play home and away games at the Brandywell and Windsor Park.

It will be an historic occasion when Linfield step onto the Brandywell pitch. The last time the sides met at the venue was in 1970 in an Irish League fixture.
