Dundalk increase survival hopes as Derry miss chance to close in on Shelbourne

IT WAS STALEMATE at Oriel Park tonight as Dundalk and Derry City played out an entertaining 0-0 draw in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division .

Ruaidhri Higgins’ title-chasers continued to threaten, with ex-Lilywhite favourite Michael Duffy’s snapshot from outside the box going straight down the throat of Munro. The Lilywhites had another good chance through Elliott, whose header was tipped over the bar by Maher after the Dundalk forward had got on the end of a Daryl Horgan cross.At the other end, McMullan’s cross found Patrick Hoban at the far post and his diving header rippled the side-netting, however the assistant’s flag had been raised in any case.

From Horgan’s pass, which was helped on by Paul Doyle, Gullan really should have put Dundalk ahead on the hour-mark, however he blazed over when it looked easier to score.
