The League of Ireland weekend recap


With a shortened schedule in the League of Ireland but with several noticeable matches that left notable results. This weekend edition of the SSE for sure is showing off a squad potential in newly promoted Waterford. 

As the commercial states it keeps winning and winning and despite their two losses in the campaign against the defending champions Cork City and Dundalk FC. On the other side, we have a hungry Dundalk FC looking forward to revive its old glory days by delivering an important win as a visitor. 

In the Regional Sports Centre at Waterford, the local Blues playing like this is not their first rodeo and despite their promotion to the Republic of Ireland Premier football league, for Alan Reynolds and company is business as usual.

With a contested and goal ridden first half between Waterford and the Shamrock Rovers coming to town, the Blues with a double from an inspired Courtney Duffus in the 33 and 38 this latter one to answer a score by the Hoops Graham Burke in the 35.

Once again the Saints are becoming a tough foe to play against when they play at home in Richmond Park back in Inchicore, with the visiting Limerick Super Blues, the local Pats just needed a simple goal to take care of business. 

A lone score by Pats Ian Bermingham in the 56 was enough for the locals to stand their ground and net a valuable win and moving up on the table to fifth place for the joy of their manager Liam Buckley.

In Phibsborough colossus of Dalymont the local Bohemians getting back in the winning column, netting three points of gold over a hapless visiting Bray Wanderers that so far in the campaign their mediocre play is sinking them further into relegation.

For the local Gypsies with goals from Ian Morris 4 and Daniel Corcoran 90 were enough to seal a win after the Gulls jumped ahead in the score in the 3 minute via a goal from Daniel Kelly.

In the Showgrounds the Bit O’ Red Sligo Rovers playing host to Dundalk FC, today the visiting Lilywhites expose the frailties of the local’s defense with a notable win and a clean sheet for their goalkeeper Gary Rogers reaching a milestone of seven matches netting a clean sheet.

Very well netting his 501 participation in the League of Ireland, his teammates ensure that Rogers got another clean sheet as well a tranquil afternoon under his posts. 

As the Town with goals in both halves were enough to seal the deal with Patrick Hoban in the 30 minute and Michael Duffy 55 to deliver a notable win as well be within a point of the defending champions Cork City in the general table.
