Derry City and Bohemians draw at the Brandywell; Drogheda secure last-gasp winner over St Patrick’s Athletic
Farrugia was having a huge impact against his former side and he provided the spadework for Burke to score the goal that guided the Hoops towards a 3-0 interval cushion.
After what proved a disappointing display by both sides through the first half, Derry upped the intensity after the break but failed to take advantage of a number of clearcut scoring opportunities. Flores played a superb crossfield pass in the 27th minute and while Declan McDaid did well to take the ball in his stride, he failed to hit the target with a tame effort.
As the game move into the latter stages Bohs goalkeeper Brian Talbot pulled off two top-class saves to keep the home side at bay, denying Duffy with five minutes remaining and 60 seconds later he got down well to block an effort from Derry substitute Ollie O’Neill. Paul McLaughlin pointed to the spot when Ryan Brennan tangled with Forrester and the midfielder scored his 10th goal of a fruitful season from the spot to haul St Pat’s level. He is on course to far surpass his best career goalscoring season and in his ninth full season at the club is powering their resurgence under Jon Daly.
Ilicali, who also wholly owns English Championship club Hull City, says his ambition is to make Shelbourne Ireland’s most successful football club. Nando Pijnaker miscontrolled an innocuous long ball from Shane Farrell. Seán Boyd was alert to skip away to the end line to pull the ball back for Matty Smith to finish at the near post.
And it was the 82nd minute before Sligo really threatened, substitute Kailin Barlow showing clever feet to arrow a drive narrowly wide.First the well-placed Moylan headed off the line from John Mahon before Max Mata saw his header strike the crossbar from a Danny Lafferty cross.Kearns; Quinn, Molloy, Griffin, T Wilson; Farrell , Coyle , Lunney, Caffrey; Smith , Boyd .McNicholas; Brannefalk, Mahon, Pijnaker, Lafferty; Bolger ; Morahan, Browning , Fitzgerald; Liivak , Mata.
