Longford and Derry settle for a draw

Longford Town 0 Derry City 0

Goalkeepers Stephen O’Brien and David Forde were the stars of the show as this thriller somehow ended scoreless.

Forde kept Derry in the match in the first half with two superb stops from Andy Myler and John Martin.

Derry had the better openings after the break with Mark Farren bringing the best out of O’Brien shortly after the resumption.

Forde then made a vital save from Alan Kirby before O’Brien dived full stretch to again thwart Farren seven minutes from the end.
