Shamrock Rovers edged within touching distance of securing the title while Finn Harps came from two down to level in the final minutes in this evening’s SSE Airtricity League Premier Division action.
It was deadlocked at the break for both Shamrock Rovers’ meeting with Longford Town and Finn Harps’ meeting with Sligo Rovers.
However, Graham Burke had an immediate impact at Bishopsgate, only on the pitch a matter of moments before he swept the ball home for Shamrock Rovers, securing a 1-0 win for the side.
