Poom rescues point for Rovers to keep gap to Derry at six points

On a stodgy and soggy surface, this wasn’t the prettiest of meetings between the country’s top two but in this early-season posturing a point apiece will be accepted by each.

LATE EQUALISER: Markus Poom gives Derry City a share of the spoils with his injury time equaliser. 

SHAMROCK ROVERS 2 (Patrick Hoban 72, Markus Poom 90+1) 

DERRY CITY 2 (Darragh Burns 60, Danny Mullen 86)
