Premier Division: Bohemians beat Derry to end Candystripe’s unbeaten run

Derry City’s unbeaten start to the season came to an end after a 1-0 defeat by Bohemians at the Brandywell.

Dawson Devoy scored the only goal of the game on 64 minutes as Bohs continued their promising start to the campaign.

The away side had the best early chances with Derry stopper Eddie Beach called into action to make multiple good saves in the opening 30 minutes.

Both sides were then denied by the woodwork late in the first half with James Clarke’s strike and Ross Tierney’s effort thwarted by the post.

Bohemians took the lead on 64 minutes when Devoy’s free-kick was denied by Beach but struck the crossbar and found the back of the net.

Derry pushed for a leveller with Michael Duffy finding space before passing to Josh Thomas, but the striker couldn’t find a way past Kacper Chorazka.

Next for Tiernan Lynch’s side is their fourth home game in a row as they welcome Waterford to the Brandywell.
