Derry are struggling with niggles and injuries however I don't think that is an excuse at all.
There is no reason why we couldnt use some of our under 20s and feed in some of the young boys that have been on the peripheral like that young fella Liam Kelly (Player of the tournament in the supercup)
Derry away to warm weather on Monday aswell. A game before that would have been good.
I'd say if it were at home vs Harps for them they would of played it, apart from possibly Sligo no other LOI club would of brought a sizeable away support to a friendly in the BrandywellOriginally Posted by Shinkicker

Bohs playing two friendlies tonight at the same time against Athlone and Longford. A couple of "trialists" listed but they're probably just players not registered on the FAI app for some reason.
Agreed. I think it's poor form.
Glad that Harps were able to get a against Galway this weekend at least.
Kerry FC 2-0 Cobh Wanderers
Through to the quarter finals after a victory over Cobh Wanderers. Sean McGrath with a volley and Sean O'Connell. Next up will be another Cork Senior League side.
Didn't this happen with Derry last season or season before too?
Won 4-1 against Athlone with two goals from the Hugh Martin lad, looks like he's part of the first team squad afterall.
2-1 win against Longford too.
Ringmahon Rangers 2-1 Treaty AET.
Great game in Mayfield between Ringmahon and Treaty. Nine of the fifteen players in the squad from the 20s, three of the other five are still eligible for 20s I think. Treaty sending a stronger squad to play Sligo Rovers in Mayo this Saturday afternoon.
Matt Jones the star of the show for Treaty. A terrible individual error led to the equaliser and a non existent penalty with the last kick of ET gave Ringmahon the win. Should have been up 3-0 but that's life.
Lucas Keating has reffed two of Treaty's three pre season games and he has been shocking. He's lucky that he's Hennessy's sidekick.
Treaty's blasé approach to the MSC being a reflection of a club who have picked up the baton dropped by Limerick FC. Same ground. Same supporters more or less. Making an FAI Cup semi final v Derry or progression in the MSC not a big deal for Limerick FC - Treaty United folk.
Weird post, not sure your issue with Limerick Senior Football.
Treaty United getting to a fai cup semi final while amateur in their second year is and was a big deal.
Ringmahon was a good litmus test for a predominantly 20s side. Don't think there would be any other opportunity for them to play a good men's team in a competitive setting.
Amateur? No way was Enda Curran playing for ye for the love of Limerick
Of course lads were getting expensed.
