Duff will be looking for more consistency next season and the side mature together but knows that his side have a great opportunity to turn a solid season into a great one with a win on Sunday There’s been little to choose between the sides in head-to-head this season. Shels came out on top in the first meeting between the teams in April, winning 2-1 at the Brandywell, while an injury-time goal from Ryan Graydon gave Derry a 1-0 at Tolka Park in August.

Ruaidhrí Higgins’ men may have fallen short and suffered a considerable drop in form after they mathematically conceded the title at the end of October but they were still able to secure the runners-up place in the league, albeit on goal difference following a final-day defeat to Dundalk.

However, having enjoyed two weeks of rest and recuperation Higgins will hope that his side can finish the season on a high. For Shelbourne, a season in which they cemented their place in the top flight following promotion last year represents a successful return.

" "We have players who have really good experience at this level and it’s brilliant as a manager to have that experience, Michael Duffy scored a cup final goal, Patrick McEleney scored a cup final goal, and it’s great to have those players taking the pitch on Sunday. "We have a mixture of good experience and a real core of emerging players and normally on days like this it’s one of that crop that come to the fore and make a real name for themselves.
