Battling UCD hold Derry

UCD ended a dismal run of seven league defeats in a row to ease their relegation worries when picking up a vital point in last night’s entertaining Premier Division clash with Derry City at the Belfield Bowl.

Derry were to regret several missed chances when the Students grabbed the lead in the first minute of added time in the first half. A cross from the left by Corry was missed by the Derry defence and Dean Marshall cleverly took control of the ball to fire past Ger Doherty from 16 yards.

Derry were level on 65 minutes defender Danny Lafferty headed home after a cross by Ruaidhri Higgins from the left.
