Champions Shamrock Rovers moved six points clear at the top of the Premier Division table despite having to settle for a 1-1 draw with Derry City as both sides finished with 10 men at Tallaght Stadium. Rovers equalised seven minutes later, Rory Gaffney getting in behind Cameron McJannet from a quick throw to finish well. Hoare was the first to see red for a second booking on 83 minutes following a clash with Ciaron Harkin. Derry left-back Daniel Lafferty was then also dismissed on 90 minutes for a second yellow card for a foul on Graham Burke. Goals from Scottish wingers Liam Burt and Ali Coote maintained Bohemians’ revival as they beat second-bottom Longford Town 2-0 at Bishopsgate.
