IFA C'ship One: Institute continue promotion push against Loughgall

Institute host Loughgall at Drumahoe this afternoon as they continue their push for a promotion play-off spot (kick off 3.00pm).

Team boss Kevin Deery has hailed the Derry side’s next two league games as ‘everything’ to their season.

Anything other than a maximum return from today’s game could see those dreams shelved for another season.

After having been away from the home for the last few weeks, Deery is happy to be finally returning to the Riverside Stadium, where they have only lost once this season.

“We look forward for it, as we have a good home record and we know how important it is for us to get three points,” he said.

“Our next two fixtures against Loughgall and away to Larne next Tuesday night are everything for our season.

“Hopefully, we will manage to get three points against Loughgall and then we have another crunch game at Larne, which I hope everyone will be motivated for.”

For today’s game, ‘Stute welcome back Shane McGinty (pictured), Jamie McIntyre, Stephen O’Donnell and Mark Scoltock.
