Classy Candystripes storm back to the top

Bray Wanderers 0 Derry City 3

Goals from Mark Farren, Stephen O’Flynn and Ciaran Martyn mean Derry are two points clear of Cork City in the race for the title. The two teams are now level on goal difference at +31 although Derry have scored 54 compared to Cork’s 48.

But there were no premature celebrations from Derry boss Stephen Kenny, who knows Cork still have a match in hand and Derry have just two remaining fixtures, at home to St Patrick’s Athletic on Sunday week and the showdown game against Cork at Turners Cross on November 18.
