Home Farm kept their survival hopes ticking over with a thrilling 3-3 draw against North Dublin rivals Tolka Rovers.
John Hand’s side are unbeaten in their last five outings and have now picked up four points from their last two games as a result.
But they will be left ruing an opportunity to make it two wins on the spin.
Farm raced into a 3-1 lead thanks to a brace from Shane Lyons and another goal from in-form former League of Ireland striker Rob Manley.
Although, they were eventually pegged back by the hosts at Frank Cooke Park with Glen McAuley, Ryan Harte and Stephen Meaney on target.

And that was not the only thrilling draw of the weekend as Dublin 8 rivals Crumlin United and Bluebell United played out a cracker.
The Bell finished the game with nine-men but still managed to salvage a draw.
Joshua Ojelabi and Jack Savage were on target for them, with Jake Walker and Callum Bridgeman striking for James Lee’s Crumlin.
