Drogheda United 2 Derry City 2

IT HAS felt like a long time coming but when Frantz Pierrot finally hit the net in a Drogheda United shirt, it was worth the wait.

Drogheda, though, denied them the chance to close the gap on league leaders Shelbourne in any meaningful way. They have made up just one point now after Shels were defeated for the first time this campaign at Tolka Park. Advertisement Derry-born Oisin Gallagher started the game in midfield for Drogheda but Adam Foley was absent. He got married to long-term partner Nadine on Thursday so Zishim Bawa was recalled. South African goalkeeper Jethren Barr deputised once again for the injured Andrew Wogan.

He was beaten within three minutes. Warren Davis finished from Oisin Gallagher’s low cross into the six-yard box to set Drogheda on their way. Patching thought he had scored the goal of the game in first-half injury time. He produced a gorgeous curling shot into the top corner. It was quite brilliant. With just four minutes remaining, Pierrot outdid him.
