Derry City Ladies host champs New City at Drumahoe tonight
Newly-promoted Derry City face a tough task in their bid to secure their first win the Northern Ireland Women’s Premiership when they host champions Newry City at Drumahoe tonight (kick off 7.30pm).
The Derry girls won an unprecedented quadruiple.in gaining promotion to the top flight last season, winning the Championship, Championship Divisional Cup, Foyle Cup and Ballymena Cup.
However, the step up will present a tougher challenge.
They lost their opening game in the Premiership last week when beaten 4-2 by Mid Ulster Ladies at the Mid Ulster Arena, the Derry goals coming via a Bassett own goal and Niamh Connelly.
