Third-placed teams play out scoreless draw

Derry City 0 Shamrock Rovers 0

It’s as you were in joint-third place following this scoreless draw at the Brandywell.

Derry striker Mark Farren wasted perhaps the best chance of the night 11 minutes from time.

Played in by Tommy Stewart, last season’s topscorer Farren shot wide of Barry Murphy’s goal.

Rovers had their chances too, with Derry keeper Ger Doherty making good stops throughout the game from Padraig Amond and Gary Twigg.
