Late goal denies Shels home tie

Shelbourne 1 Derry City 1

Ciaran Martyn scored a dramatic last minute equaliser to deprive Shelbourne of a home tie in next week’s semi-finals.

Instead of meeting Drogheda United at Tolka Park, Shels must now travel to meet league champions Cork City at Turner's Cross.

Derry started brightly with Mark Farren shaving a post, but it counted for little as Shels stole the lead with their first meaningful attack on 17 minutes.

Sean Dillon’s put Glen Crowe in behind Eddie McCallion down the right and he picked out strike partner Jason Byrne who swiveled to blast to the net for his sixth goal of the season.

But midfielder Martyn beat Shels' keeper Steve Williams right on 90 minutes when his drive from just outside the area trickled into the bottom corner.
