Boyce on target again, but Derry lose to Shamrock Rovers

RONAN Boyce scored his fifth goal of the season last night, but Derry City let a 2-0 lead slip against Shamrock Rovers.

Ramelton man Boyce steered home a 24th minute opener for City.

Boyce has been in fine form this season since making a place in the Candystripes’ team his own.

Junior netted a penalty six minutes later to make it 2-0.

However, Graham Burke pulled one back before half-time before second-half strikes by Ronan Finn, Rory Gaffney and Richie Towell gave Rovers a 4-2 win.

Ronan Boyce opens the scoring!

The Derry City man finishes from close range to give his side the advantage 🤝
