Derry bounced back from two successive defeats to earn a share of the spoils with Bray at the Brandywell.

Liam Coyle, back from injury, opened the scoring for the home side three minutes before the break.

And the Candystripes looked good for three points until Joe Harkin and Jason Byrne went up together for a high ball in the 68th minute. Referee Hugh Byrne pointed to the spot and Colm Tresson slotted home the equaliser.
