A gutsy and spirited performance earned SD Galway a deserved point against the league leaders Longford Town on Friday night in Terryland Park.

Drogheda United put on their most commanding performance of the season so far to see off ten man Derry City side on Friday night. Goals from Ryan Brennan and Brian Gannon either side of a Barry Molloy red card meant the hosts claimed their first victory over an overly robust City side in four attempts.

Cork City may have got off to the perfect start at home to Bray Wanderers on Friday night but once again they were pegged back by a spirited Seagulls side at Turner’s Cross.
