Waterford back in the plus in this week recap in the League of Ireland


They are back those hardened and surprising Waterford Boys, return to the winning column with a convincing win over another not easy Derry City with a clean sheet. Also with Dundalk and Cork City both making a stand and netting wins in their respective matches. 

As the race to the league top is taking a very interesting turn, currently held by the Lilywhites holding a two-point lead over the defending Champions Cork City, in the Dublin Derby the Bohs once again spoil the Hoops afternoon.

In another showdown between the league archrivals Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers  in the Dublin Derby, the Hoops looking like they were heading to a win over the locals Gypsies at home in Dalymont Stadium.

With a the Hoops scoring via Ronan Finn in the 83 minute but the visitors lead not lasted when the Bohs Robert Cornwall scored three minutes later to leave the score tied and the locals play odious role of spoiler. 

Bohemians 1, Shamrock Rovers 1

In the Showgrounds, the Bit O’ Red and the Super Blues of Limerick in the battle of relegation both squads sharing the points, in a match were no goals scored but a load of yellow cards between both squads.

Netting a total of six cards and for the local Rovers with a red card on John Mahon on the 81 minute leaving the locals with ten men, still the visiting Limerick side did not capitalize. 

Sligo 0, Limerick 0

In Inchicore, the streaking Pats were looking to deliver a grand match and looking forward to extend their winning ways against a hardened Cork City coming to town in a match with all-around loads of challenges. 

Still the local Saints were no match to an inspired Kieran Sandler delivering a double with a goal in the 1 and 90 minutes and Jimmy Keohane in the 73, for the locals Conan Byrne scored the Pats only goal. 

Saint Patrick’s Athletic 1, Cork City 3

In the RSC, the locals Waterford Boys delivered a convincing and scandalous win over a tough Derry City playing a one of kind football, as the local Blues return to the winning side with this win and on the hunt to the league top.

Scoring for the Blues were Rory Feely 12, Ismahil Akinade 14, Sander Puri 40 and Stanley Opoku Aborah 90 to seal the deal and be within ten points of league leader Dundalk and eight from Cork City.

Waterford 4, Derry City 0

In Oriel Park, the locals Dundalk showed off their might and game style with a barrage of goals over a sorry Bray Wanderers that never showed any resistance in the local’s dynamic and successful attack. 

For the local Lilywhites scoring were Patrick Hoban scoring a double in the 13 and 61, followed by Stephen Folan 15, Jamie McGrath 39 and Marco Tagbajumi 76 and still keep a lead of two points over Cork City.

Dundalk 5, Bray Wanderers 0
