Derry City and Limerick share the spoils

Derry City and Limerick have played out a 1-1 draw at Maginn Park tonight in the SSE Airtricity Premier Division.

The original fixture had been abandoned due to a floodlight failure at the stadium earlier in the season.

Shane Duggan opened the scoring for the visitors after 12 minutes of action.

However, Barry McNamee equalised on the hour for the Candystripes to halt Derry's run of four defeats in a row, their worst run under Kenny Shiels.

The result means Limerick stay fourth, six points behind Dundalk and Bray Wanderers, who are second and third respectively.

Derry City are just one point behind Limerick but have a game in hand.
