| The direct running of Pat McCourt and - in the early
stages – Kevin McHugh unsettled Rovers rejigged backline. By the time they had come to terms with it, McCourt
had opened the scoring. Nonetheless, the Hoops gave an excellent account of
themselves, creating plenty of opportunities, but lacking that killer touch in
the box. The Candystripes worked hard throughout, but have yet to reach last
season’s highs; Pat Scully’s side deserved a point from the contest. |
