Sam Todd sent off in first half as visitors earn a draw to remain three points behind league leaders.
Especially when both sets of players are looking to win their first together.This was one was goalless, but it did have the excitement of a red card for Sam Todd and the tension that followed as the visitors played more than 60 minutes with 10 men.
There was a mini-standoff when the Shels boss embraced opposite number Ruaidhrí Higgins at full time but, like the previous 90 minutes, not much to it. Advertisement First Todd kept a Patching ball alive, Ciarán Coll then sent a looping header towards the penalty spot which Pat Hoban flicked on before Sam Bone could make a connection.The Derry winger’s close-range volley with his right foot was straight at Conor Kearns, however, and the shot was well saved.
Duffy shot straight at Kearns from outside the box after intercepting the goalkeeper’s attempted pass out, and from the resulting counter attack JJ Lunney – Shels’ best performer – arrived at the back post to control a cross and tee up Harry Wood, only for the shot to be blocked.
