There were three games in the Airtricity League today with intrigue at the top and the bottom of the table.

Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers finished scoreless at Tolka Park. The result leaves Rovers a full six points behind runaway league leaders and defending champions Sligo Rovers.

Shelbourne's first point of the season lifts them off the bottom although they also have a game in hand.

Derry City beat Cork City 1-0 at Turners Cross to climb to second in the table while Cork drop to 8th. 

Drogheda climbed above Cork in the table as they came from a goal down to win 2-1 at home to Bray Wanderers who end today in 10th.
