LEAGUE OF IRELAND PREMIER DIVISION:Cork City1 Finn Harps1 - FINN HARPS grabbed a draw at Turner's Cross last night to alleviate their relegation worries, Neil McCafferty's second-half spot-kick cancelling out Lawrie Dudfield's early opener for City.

It only took the home side 18 minutes to break the deadlock. Joe Gamble threaded a well-paced ball towards Dudfield who had time to turn and blast the ball past Harps goalkeeper James Gallagher from nine yards out.

Then with 66 minutes gone they drew level when Darragh Ryan was adjudged to have handled inside the area and McCafferty took his chance from the spot.

CORK CITY:McNulty; Horgan, Kelly, Sullivan, Ryan; O'Connor, Gamble, Darren Murphy, Kearney; Kiely (Cambridge, 71 mins), Dudfield.
