| Rovers dominated the opening half as they sought the
win that would lift them into second spot, but they struggled to find a way
past Pat Jennings in the Derry goal. Early in the second period some
uncharacteristically slack defending allowed Sammy morrow to open his account
for the Candystripes. There followed a fractious period which culminated in
Sean Hargan seeing red just before the hour mark; within a minute the Hoops
were level. Derry sat back understandably, but threatened on the break, while
the hosts were unable to find a way past the excellent Jennings. |
