“It’s a better point for Derry, let’s call a spade a spade. Not so good for us. At the same time, the gap stays with a game chalked off.'
And his Derry City counterpart Ruaidhri Higgins insists it is a three-way title race - not a two-horse race.
But Duff’s men still lead the title charge by three points and he said: “Ruaidhri would agree, it was probably a brilliant point for them down to ten men for nearly an hour. “At the same time, I told them before the game, they’re great young men and their families are still proud of them and nothing has changed after the game.”
“It makes it very, very interesting and exciting and I’ve no doubt after tonight that we’re up for the challenge.”
