League of Ireland on Off the Ball. Welcome along to this week's edition of the LOI Wrap-Up, I'm Ross Flanagan. On today's episode, shells break bad run of form, pats drop points laid on, the hoops reclaim their spot at the top, and co-ramblers shock county rivals Cork City. But first, Bohemians and Derry City played out a tense one-all draw at Datingman Park last night. James Olienka opened the scoring for the county stripes in the first half, but it was Marcus Strads who equalised just after the start of the second half. Derry were reduced to 10 men late on after Adam O'Reilly got his second yellow card following a challenge on Adam McDonnell. But it was a different refereeing decision that gathered all the headlines as Bowles midfielder Patrick Hickey appeared to have cut the ball while marking Deepo Akinyemi.
The American defender received a yellow card and the match ended in a stalemate. Phil Egan was on hand for a live and exclusive commentary at Dalyman Park and caught up with Derry City manager Tina Lynch following the game and had this to say.
Obviously emotions are high and frustrations there and all goes with it but Phil was joined on commentary by Keith Tracy last night who had this to say about the match.
A draw, a fair result Keith?
Yeah I think so I think Dirty were much the better team in the first half without banging down the Bohemians goal they were a lot more comfortable looked the better team but once Ross Tierney came off the bench from a Bows point of view things changed Bohemians were much the better team in the second half I would go with a draw I think they're better just as good as each other really I don't think anybody would complain too much with the draw though I do think Bows needed it more
Bohemians will host Shelbourne on Monday hoping for their first win since mid-March. Alan Reynolds spoke to Phil after the match who talked about the month ahead for the North Dublin side.
Derry City's moods were lifted as Captain Michael Duffy returned from injury following five games on the sidelines.
Shelbourne picked up their first win since the middle of March with a 2-1 win away to Dundalk at Oriole Park Former Lily White Daniel Kelly opened the scoring for the Reds just after the 10-minute mark while Karen McEnroy added a second just after halftime. Darrell Horgan scored a penalty late on for Dundalk after a handball by Reds defender Cameron Ledwich. Joey O'Brien's Reds held on for a massive three points for the side going into a busy May. The Shelburne manager spoke to LOITV following the match.
Yeah, listen, I think, yeah, listen, football's only short-term, really. It's only as good as our last game. There's a lot made about our last four results, but as I was saying to the boys and said publicly, we had some super players in that team. been brilliant over the last couple of years and yeah, knew we were going to bounce back, it was just a matter of time. I thought tonight we really played the pitch well, shot our experience really and what you need to do when you come here, really hard place to go, I think that was the first defeat up here so yeah, delighted to get the win.
That win has put Shelburne in 6th place on 16 points, just 5 points off 4th place Dundalk. Shamrock Rovers picked up a well fought win with a 1-0 victory over Waterford at Tata Stadium thanks to a Greenberg goal midway through the first half. The Hoops have reclaimed their place at the top of the table now with a one-point lead over Chasers St. Pat's. Former Shamrock Rovers goalkeeper Barry Murphy spoke about the match on last night's LOI Late Night.
