Kilduff gets Hoops out of jail

SHAMROCK ROVERS joined Derry City at the top of the Airtricity League Premier Division last night, but not without a major scare at the home of basement side Galway.

Michael O’Neill’s side had to come from a goal down early in the second half in Terryland Park to secure a 3-2 win which sees them headed by Derry only on goal difference.

The visitors made five changes to the side which drew with Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League on Thursday night, with former Galway United players Karl Moore and Karl Sheppard coming into the side along with Chris Turner, Gary O’Neill and Ciaran Kilduff.
