Competition: Republic of Ireland Premier Division
Date: Fri 26.July
Match begins: 19:00 (UTC)
Venue: Finn Park (7500 seats)

Finn Harps hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 17 points and a 10th position in the Premier Division table. Visiting Derry City holds 4th place with 40 pts.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Derry City have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 15-7-17 (win-draw-loss) from 39 matches.
