Down to wire after Tolka stalemate

SO it’s all going to come down to 90 minutes at Turner’s Cross next Friday.

Last night’s scoreless draw between Cork City and Shelbourne means that, regardless of what happens between Derry City and St Pat’s today, the 2005 eircom league title will only be decided when north plays south in Cork on November 18. Start biting those nails now.

The other ramification of last night’s result is that with Cork two points clear at the top, the Leesiders can’t now finish level with Derry on points and, therefore, goal difference will not come into play.
