Burke penalty cancels out McJannet opener as Shamrock Rovers dampen a firey night in the Bogside.
Declan Bogue Reports from the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium Derry City 1 Shamrock Rovers 1 IF THE TITLE hunt for the SSE Airtricity League is over, it ended right here in the Brandywell when Shamrock Rovers scarcely deserved to come away with a point.
The first half was, by consensus, the best half that Derry City had produced this season. Playing to the beat of the drum in the main stand they found an early groove and with Adam O’Reilly, Paul McMullan and Michael Duffy slicing through the cover they threatened constantly. But what chances there were, were of the ‘almost’ variety.
When Rovers could put their foot on it, they had neat contributions from Richie Towell and Ronan Finn. It’s difficult to see how they were bringing the same ambition as their hosts, but Gaffney’s wrestling match with Shane McEleney was worth coming for. At least it felt that way until a combination of Diallo and Duffy forced a corner on 62 minutes. A Will Patching corner, and Cameron McJannet powered it home to take the lead.
