First Division round-up: Cork fight back for point at Harps as Treaty top table

Jack Doherty rescued a point for Cork City in Ballybofey as the they earned a share of the spoils from their trek to Finn Harps.

Doherty converted a hotly disputed penalty 20 minutes from the end to cancel out Success Edogun's first-half opener for Harps.

Tim Clancy is rebuilding the relegated Rebels but Doherty, who they managed to hold onto following their demotion, followed up his brace in an opening night 2-0 win over Kerry with a firmly dispatched spot kick.

Harps took the lead in the 17th minute when Edogun reacted quickest when Sean Murray sliced an attempted back-pass to his goalkeeper, Bradley Wade.

Patrick Ferry also cleared the Cork crossbar before the hosts had to absorb some pressure as City – who brought a good visiting support the length of the country – began to grow into the game.

A Harry Nevin shot from distance, routinely dealt with by Harps 'keeper Tim Hiemer, was as close as they came in the opening 45 minutes.

Evan McLaughlin was wide with an attempted acrobatic effort just before the hour, after Edogun had too much elevation when fed by McNamee down the other end.

Edogun went close again moments later. Ferry made the incision with a neat pass, but Edogun was unable to hit the target.

Cork drew level in the 70th minute, after Matty Makinson was penalised for a handball, and Doherty slammed past Tim Hiemer from the spot.

The big home crowd, buoyed clearly by a come-from-behind 3-2 win at Longford last weekend, howled their
