Rovers close gap at the top

Shamrock Rovers put the pressure back on league leaders Bohemians with a 1-0 win over Galway United at Terryland Park.

Stephen Bradley moved Rovers to within four points of Pat Fenlon’s side with the 74th minute free-kick that wrong-footed Barry Ryan.

The game ended on a sour note for Rovers, however, after Pat Sullivan was shown a second yellow card.

Shane Guthrie was dismissed for the homeside five minutes before at halftime.

At the Carlisle Grounds, a 90th minute winner from Gareth McGlynn's moved Derry City into third, marginally ahead of Cork City on goal difference, and left Bray Wanderers rooted to the foot of the table.
