Derry power sees off Mons

Derry City bounced back from their Setanta Cup disappointment with a comfortable 4-1 victory over Monaghan United in Gortakeegan last night.

The win helps to move Derry above Bray but leaves Monaghan languishing at the bottom, without a home win.

After a dull first half, a defensive mix-up gifted David McDaid a chance and he didn’t fluff his lines as he slid the ball past Michael Schlingermann in the 55th minute.
