Work on a new hybrid grass and synthetic grass filament pitch at Derry City FC’s Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium in Derry progresses. Hayden Turfcare Ltd seeded the surface. Club officials expect the pitch to host the scheduled home fixture against Drogheda United on June 26.

Crews removed the old 3G pitch in March ahead of schedule. Favorable growing conditions support timely completion. The stadium serves as Derry City FC's home ground.
