Derry City have won the EA Sports Cup for the 11th time in their history this afternoon.
The Candystripes were 3-1 winners over First Division side Cobh Ramblers at the Brandywell Stadium.
A goal from Ronan Hale saw Derry City take the lead after 24 minutes after a mistake from Cobh’s James McSweeney allowed Hale to beat Cobh keeper Adam Mylod at his near post.
The First Division side were quick to respond however – Kevin Taylor rolled the ball invitingly across the Derry goal before Chris Hull slid in to convert at the far post.
Derry took the lead again after the half-time interval, Darren Cole converting a free header from a Ben Fisk corner.
Derry gave themselves some breathing space after 71 minutes.
Aaron McEneff converted a penalty after Cobh’s Ian Mylod pushed Derry’s Jamie McDonagh inside the box.
