Dundalk just keeps on winning and setting the tone in the LOI recap

The league of Ireland finally is back in full activity with all its fronts busy, with the defending champions Dundalk returning to their winning ways, as well setting alone at the top.

Another impacting result came from the Finn Harps winning and upseting the Bit O' Red in Finn Park, but what about those Bohs moving up the table and Cork City not showing anything.

Friday evening in Turner's Cross saw how the Leesiders are still not showing off anything in their game lacking hunger and displaying another mediocre evening at home.

The scores from Derry came from David Parkhouse 11' accompanied by a treble from Junior Chukwuemkua Ogedi  27', 30' and 65', the locals scored via  from Graham Cummins 88'.

Cork City 1-4 Derry City

In the Bowl at UCD, the local Students continue their strugles with droping another math at home against their cross town foes Pats of Saint Patrick's in no contest Dublin Derby.

With a lone score from  the Saints Kevin Toner, this goal became the only score the Inchicore lads needed to net a valuable win over the home side lately selling their talent and sentencing thier destiny to the lower division.

In the Regional Sports Centre the local Waterford Blues and Bohemians Own goals marked their doom in a match that in the end the Gypsies overcome the locals continue their odd streak.

The Blues with an OG from Rory Feely in the 22', the Bohs went up the score and later the Blues OG by Bohs Michael Barker  38' the score tied at one goal apiece when Michael Barker 90' score the game winner for the Dublin bunch.

Waterford 1-2 Bohemians

At home is where it counts and for the Finn Harps netting a valuable win at home and a clean sheet over the Sligo Rovers, not expecting such result from a squad having its troubles.

A double from Nathan Boyle in the 28' and 79' minutes were enough for the Harps to arise from thier bad streak and winning a valuable match that restores this squad confidence.
