DERRY CITY ENDED an eight-month wait for a Brandywell victory with a comprehensive victory over Waterford in front of 480 home supporters.
The last home win came back on 23 October in a 2-0 win over Shelbourne and it arrived at the sixth time of asking under new boss Ruaidhri Higgins.
It was a memorable night for Derry teenager Evan McLaughlin, who signed his first professional contract during the week, as he marked his senior debut with a first half strike to open the scoring.
