Derry City are two points off the top – Dominic Thomas scored at the death to earn a point for the Candystrips in a 1-1 draw at Drogheda United.

Bohemians earned their sixth win in seven games, a Dayle Rooney penalty enough for a 1-0 win over 9-man Shelbourne at Dalymount Park.

A late, late winner from Jamie Lennon was needed for St Pat’s to snatch a 3-2 win at home to Cork City.
