Derry’s European ambitions could complicate task for Damien Duff’s side
Shelbourne striker Sean Boyd will be hoping to continue his recent scoring form when his team take on Derry City on Friday. Photograph: Ben Brady/InphoDerry are not lacking motivation as they will secure European football next season with three points if St Patrick’s Athletic do not beat Sligo Rovers at the Showgrounds.
Derry’s top goal scorer, Patrick Hoban, is not expected to feature on Friday due to injury. Hoban was missed during last Friday’s 1-0 loss at Richmond Park as St Pat’s removed Higgins’s side from the title race. “There is a big responsibility also on the guys who haven’t won a league title yet. Hopefully they will win numerous titles in their careers. But you always have to win your first, so that is going to be the case for quite a few players.”
