Derry carved open the first real chance after five minutes when Ciaran Harkin’s attempted lob failed to threaten keeper James Talbot.

A move between Derry midfielders Greg Sloggett and Barry McNamee and Ciaran Harkin after 15 minutes left Harkin driving a shot towards goal but over the bar.

Ogedi-Uzokwe had a huge chance to put Derry in front, picking up the ball from Parkhouse before drifting across the box and unleashing a shot towards goal but his effort edged just past the post.

The best move of the game saw Derry denied twice by James Talbot at the feet of Parkhouse before getting his fingertips to a rebounded effort from Ogedi-Uzokwe.

Keith Ward’s powerful free kick gave Peter Cherrie no option but to steer the ball out for a corner.
