McCarthy strike foils Vikings

Dublin City 2 Kilkenny City 2

The Vikings will go into next Saturday’s table-top clash at Sligo Rovers trailing the leaders by five points.

Kilkenny had taken an early lead after an enterprising start to the match when James Duffy dispossessed Alan Keely in the 22nd minute to release Philip Sheppard on the right wing. Sheppard sent in a low cross which was met by Dave O’Connor who headed home.
