A much anticipated match-up between two teams expected to challenge for the title this season played out more like a scrappy bottom of the table clash.
The first half opened in explosive fashion with Barry McNamee finding himself through on goal just seconds after tip off.
However, his shot was straight at the keeper and the remainder of the half swung from end to end.
Captain McBride opened the scoring for Derry from a corner 23 minutes into the second half after poor defending by the Rovers defence.
Rovers tried desperately to score an equaliser late on but their efforts were in vain and they suffered their second defeat from their first three games.
