Robert Brosnan 21
Brandywell Stadium
Derry City's miserable run of results continued tonight as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Waterford United at the Brandywell.
Looking to build on Friday's good performance, Derry were looking to go one better and pick up a much needed win.
They got the perfect start as a flowing move saw Peter Hynes guide the ball home after only ten minutes. Hynes should have made it 2-0 minutes later but missed with a header in a glorious position.
However, Waterford responded and were level midway through the half when Robert Brosnan got in to flick home a header from Shane Harte's free kick.
Derry, didn't impose themselves enough in the second half and Waterford hung on for the draw. Kevin McHugh's shot which forced a good save from Dean Delaney in the closing 15 minutes was as close as Derry came to winning it.
Derry City : Jennings, McCallion, Kelly, Oman, Rogers, McGlynn (Farren 75), Molloy, Higgins, Brennan, Hynes (Beckett 64), McHugh.
Waterford United : Delaney, Scully (Keely 88), Breen (Hayes 14), Browne, Hedderman, Harte (Mulcahy 68), Warren, McCarthy, Kavanagh, Sullivan, Brosnan.
