Once again, the Blues of Waterford are making all sorts of headlines in this edition of the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland. With a Monday schedule and the league returning to action, many squads with just a couple days rest delivering mayhem on this manic football Monday.
With a match scheduled at home of the recently promoted Waterford FC, the Regional Sports Centre showed up its best galas and with a notable attendance from the newcomers followers supporting their beloved Blues.
By hosting the improved and renewed Bohemians FC, the Blues did put on a defensive gem of a match and delivering with just a lone goal in the 51by Sander Puri, this lone score became enough for Alan Reynolds and company.
Despite the Gypsies several intentions and testing the local’s goalkeeper Lawrence Vigoroux with several intents, at the end the Waterford clan overcome the visitor’s reaction and rally to persevere for the win.

In Phibsborough, the locals Saint Patrick Athletic hosted and frustrated the visitor’s momentum with an even score at zero goals and netting their fair share of points.
As the colossus of Dublin Richmond Park saw how Liam Buckley and company put a dent on the Dundalk FC aspirations to gain some ground on the league top squads Waterford and Cork City.

In Brandywell, the Derry City Boys enjoyed a formidable return home with a goal rout over the visiting Super Blues of Limerick FC. With a 5-0, score a sort of getting even or bouncing back after that disastrous Dublin performance on Saturday.
With this, win Kenny Shiels and company are back in contention and awakening after a slow start in this edition of the Airtricity, with a treble of an afternoon from Ronan Hale scoring in the 9, 70 and 73, enough to seal the deal.
