Sligo Rovers 0 Derry City 0: Derry City's title aspirations took a dent last night when they were held to a scoreless draw by Sligo Rovers at the Showgrounds.
In an exciting game neither side could find the break through with Sligo's Romauld Boco particularly guilty of missing some gilt-edged chances.
On his Derry debut Thomas Stewart forced Rovers goalkeeper into a smart save, as did Kevin McHugh's lob.
The results leaves Derry six behind league leaders Bohemians having played two more games..
Sligo Rovers: Brush, Coleman (Judge, 41 mins), Butler, Almeida, Peers, O'Grady, Ventre, Cretaro, Doherty (Cash, 68), Murphy (MacKenzie, 74), Boco.
