Police say they want all fans attending tomorrow's Coleraine v. Ballymena match in Coleraine 'to enjoy themselves'.

Previous 'Derbys' between the old rivals have resulted in violence from a minority of so-called fans,

But unlike previous occasions police haven't yet put out a specific social media warning to would-be troublemakers.

However, their officers are expected to mount a heavy presence in the Ballycastle Road area tomorrow near Coleraine Showgrounds.

It's believed they'll aim to collect as much CCTV and police body camera evidence as possible to try and convict any criminal activity on the day
