Six-goal Derry ease into next round

Derry City 6 Ballymun United 0

Substitute Liam Nash scored a brilliant hat-trick inside four minutes as Derry eased past the challenge of non-league Ballymun.

A Liam Byrne own goal gifted Derry the lead to break the Dublin side’s resolve a minute before half-time.

Defender Mark McChrystal put Derry 2-0 up just before the hour mark and they never looked back.

It was then about Nash, who came on in the 78th minute. Within three minutes he’d made it 3-0.

A minute later he added another before completing his remarkable hat-trick on 85 minutes.

David Scullion added Derry’s sixth goal three minutes from time.
