DRAW POWER

Mullen's strike secures a border point for Candystripes

- BY BARRY LANDY

DROGHEDA UNITED and Derry City couldn't be separated as a goal in each half saw the points shared.

Dare Kareem?s first half volley was cancelled out by Danny Mullen's seventh goal of the season.

Only a Drogheda win would have ensured Shamrock Rovers victory in Tallaght was a title-clinching one.

The hosts looked the better team for large parts but couldn't secure the three points.

The Hoops’ coronation is only a matter of time anyway.

Kevin Doherty made three changes from Monday's crucial win over Shels at Sullivan & Lambe Park.
