The match at the Riverside Stadium is always a special evening for the Kee family as they remember the former ’Stute and City man.

For his son and current Institute gaffer Paul he knows what the game means to him and his family, especially his mother Rebecca.

“Its a good night for the family, but it’s another game of football to me, but it gives it a little extra edge, because it means something to the family and my mum.

“It’s just a case of trying to help Derry prepare for their season and we don’t mind doing that.”

Kee also believes that his players will enjoy tonight’s encounter and he’s expected to field a strong team.

“These types of games gives our boys the opportunity to kind of relax and go and enjoy the game and that’s what they’ll do.

“All of the boys need games because we haven’t played for a number of weeks, while the likes of Michael McCrudden, Stephen Parkhouse, Aaron Walsh and Gary Henderson have all missed some time recently they along with Stephen O’Flynn need to get some much needed game time under their belts.”

Admission to this evening’s friendly is £5 for adults and £3 for concessionary.
