Big result! Thanks for joining me & again, our best wishes go to Derry's Ciaran Coll in his recovery

FULL TIME: Derry City-1 Bohemians-0! HUGE 3 points for Derry!

CLOSE: End to end as McEleney (Shane) wins a crunching tackle & his hoof then releases McGonigle whose spearing speed wins a corner!

FIVE minutes added on

Two teenagers, Jamie Mullins & James McManus flung on late as Boh's prepare to fling the kitchen sink at it

The RTE commentators name Michael Duffy as man of the match- he's the matchwinner as it stands with that sumptuous rocket of a goal in the first half

Subs combine as Patching frees McGonigle who gallops down the left, whipping in a tantalising ball- but nobody is there to clinch what would be a nerve-settling second goal

Experienced Danny Lafferty replaces McJannet as we enter the closing stages. The crowd are edgy, this win would be so so crucial for Derry's title hopes

Sadou Diallo, another tireless performer for Derry tonight, has an ankle knock so Will Patching replaces him, not a bad sub to have!

CLOSE: Burt shimmies to the byline and his teasing cross across the goal face is bundled away by Ronan Boyce

McDaid jinks into the area but it comes to nought. Ruaidhri Higgins introduces Jamie McGonigle for the tireless Akintunde

Boh's third change: Max Murphy for Jordan Doherty

John O'Sullivan on for Bohemians

SAVE: Brilliant stop from Maher as Varian is played in on goal by the influential Burt! On the replays, Varian really should score that but Maher does well

McJannet is yellow carded for pulling back Burt

Feely, to give him his due, is marshalling the away defence superbly in the face of Derry pressure. He's made some important interventions with Akintunde, Duffy & Patrick McEleney all sniffing around with menace

Another Bohs corner, another free header for Feely. Again though, he can only direct it over the bar. Let-off for the hosts, that

Liam Burt, Boh's matchwinner last week, is sent scampering through but Maher rushes out, calmness personified, and clears well

As it stands, Derry will move to within one point of leaders Shamrock Rovers IF they win

Back underway! We are 15 minutes behind the rest of tonight's Premier Division games, for anyone keen to work out the league table ramifications

Half time arrives just before the hour mark: 1-0 to Derry City. Kris Twardek went off with an ankle problem in the last play, Declan McDaid was subbed on for him

Boh's striker Ethan Varion the first player booked tonight for an overzealous clamber on Mark Connolly

That goal has galvanised the home side, in particular. Winger Ryan Graydon is having a great battle with Boh's left-back Tyreke Williams, a fiercely fought one, I might add

14 minutes of added time following the earlier lengthy pause in play

GOAL- Michael Duffy. What a strike! Shane McEleney's hashed pass from a corner falls to the edge of the box and Duffy, cool as you like, bends a sublime first-time hit into the top corner! That's the ignition the match needed!! 1-0 Derry

Both teams are certainly going at it although neither goalkeeper, Brian Maher or Jon McCracken, have yet been tested

Rory Feely heads over for the visitors. Michael Duffy's tenacity then wins the ball back high up off of Feely but Duffy overcooks his cross

A sad sight as the stretcher comes on for Derry defender Ciaran Coll. A lengthy break. Al of us here at FinalWhistle.ie wish him a speedy recovery. Shane McEleney has come on for him. Full applause for Coll

A terrific tempo to match the fantastic atmosphere! Two early Derry corners come to nothing yet home striker James Akintunde looks lively so far

Kick off!

Teams emerging from the tunnel now to a raucous Brandywell!

The Bohemians team news is also now in. Kick off now twenty minutes away in what will, hopefully, be an entertaining match!

Derry make two changes from last week's 3-0 win over UCD. Ronan Boyce and Ciaran Coll start in defence with Will Patching fit enough to return to the bench

Good evening, I'm Rory Morrow and welcome to FinalWhistle.ie's live text coverage of Derry City vs Bohemians in the Premier Division tonight. Kick off is 7:45pm
