Derry City held at home by bottom side Cork City
Tiernan Lynch's side are now winless in their last four league games as lowly Cork picked up only their third point on the road this season.
The Candystripes move up to second in the league table with the draw, level on points with Bohemians, but they have played one game more than the Dublin club.
Cork remain rooted to the bottom of the league and are now seven points behind ninth placed Sligo Rovers with nine league games left to play.
Both sides will take a break from league action next weekend with attention turning to the last 16 of the FAI Cup.
Derry host Drogheda United in a repeat of last year's decider won by the County Louth side while, Cork host Waterford in an all-Munster tie.
Derry fail to threaten as Cork grab valuable point
Across the first half Cork limited the home side to little in the way of chances in front of goal.
Derry's first chance came on 25 minutes as Gavin Whyte whipped in a cross from the left which had Cork goalkeeper Conor Brann scrambling, but Adam O'Reilly could only head wide at the back-post.
Minutes later, Whyte again was the creator as he beat a few defenders before cutting the ball back to Liam Boyce just outside the six-yard box, but the striker failed to get an effort away in the congested area.
Before the half-time whistle both Mickey Duffy and Sadou Diallo had long-range efforts for the home side, but they did little in the way of troubling the visiting goalkeeper.
In the second half, Cork held firm and were full value for the point with a hardworking and honest effort, nullifying the Candystripes to virtually no efforts on goal across the second half.
The final whistle was greeted by some boos from the home support.

From Manhattan to Dublin: Chris Klieman leads Kansas State into Irish battle with Iowa State
From Manhattan to Dublin: Chris Klieman leads Kansas State into Irish battle with Iowa State originally appeared on The Sporting News Kansas State isn't easing into its 2025 season. Instead, the Wildcats open with a major conference showdown against Iowa State in Dublin, Ireland. Head coach Chris Klieman acknowledged both the excitement and the challenge of taking his team overseas. 'We're…going from camp to the game mode as well as just all the logistics of the travel,' he said. 'It's good that our kids aren't in class probably right now, so we can handle all those things as well as continue our preparation.' The Wildcats will practice twice more in Manhattan before boarding the team plane. They do have a Thursday workout in Dublin scheduled that Klieman admitted could be the most difficult adjustment. 'We arrive at about the same time of going through your daily process and having a really productive Thursday and then trying to get back on schedule. Thursday will be a tough day honestly for both teams.' The head coach praised his office and training staff for preparing players for the transatlantic flight. 'Everybody in our support staff has done a really good job from nutrition, hydration, sleep, recovery, activation,' he said There will be moments to soak in the atmosphere. The Wildcats will tour parts of Dublin Thursday evening, share a team dinner, and participate in Friday's pep rally. 'We're going to enjoy the time when we're doing those type things,' Klieman said. 'But then we've got to have a business attitude when we have our practices, our meetings, and our walkthroughs.' Still, he admitted the scene at Aviva Stadium will feel surreal. 'You're crazy if you don't pinch yourself to say, 'Wow, what a moment that we're in right now.' The band's a huge part of that. Our fan base is a huge part of that. And the amount of people I can't thank…that are already over there, having a blast. That's a credit to K-State Nation.' For Klieman, once the ball is kicked off, it's simple: 'It's a football game, whether it's at our place, at Jack Trice, or in Aviva Stadium.'

World Cup opener a 'huge opportunity'
Women's Rugby World Cup 2025: Ireland v Japan Venue: Franklin's Gardens Date: Sunday, 24 August Kick-off: 12:00 BST Coverage: Live on BBC Two, BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport Online and BBC Sounds Wing Amee Leigh Costigan says Ireland will be out to begin their Women's Rugby World Cup campaign on "the right foot" against Japan on Sunday. Scott Bemand's side will kick off Pool C in what will be their first World Cup game in eight years after missing out on the tournament in New Zealand in 2022. Ireland will also face Spain and New Zealand with the meeting against the world champions, who they beat in November during WXV1, figuring to be key. Costigan, however, says all focus is on Japan. "I see it as a huge opportunity for us," said Costigan. "At the moment, all our eyes are set on Japan. It's the first game and we really want to go in there and put our best performance out. "You want to start off on the right foot and I think that's what's important to us now." Ireland lost their final warm-up against Canada in Belfast but the 30-year-old Costigan, who was an Olympian with the sevens side in Paris last year, believes the game against the side ranked number two in the world was good preparation. While the hosts started slowly, and were 33-7 behind at half-time, they were much improved after the turn in the 47-26 reverse. "We put it up to them for a lot of that game and put them under pressure at times, which is really good to see," said Costigan. "We'll be striving for that 80-minute performance against Japan. It'll be something that we will really hone in on, how we start off the game. "It's really important, you know, to not be putting ourselves under that much pressure."
