Shields snatches point for Dundalk

Chris Shields’ 86th minute header earned struggling Dundalk a share of the spoils with Derry City at Oriel Park last night.

The versatile 21-year-old relinquished the captain’s armband to goalkeeper Peter Cherrie to help the Scottish netminder mark his 100th league appearance for the club.

However, Shields stole the headlines with a composed header four minutes from time after Marc Griffin’s corner was flicked into his path.
