McLaughlin fires Derry into cup final

Shelbourne 0 Derry City 3

David McDaid maintained his scoring run with the third goal — his fifth in the competition this season — as Derry advanced to the final to face St Patrick’s Athletic at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday, November 4.

The win was no more than Derry deserved as a disjointed Shelbourne rarely played with any fluency and can have no complaints.
