You can also listen to the match on BBC Sounds and BBC Radio Foyle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Later this evening, we will have a match report, highlights and reaction, so you won&#8217;t miss a thing!<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Thanks for joining us.
