Jaden Umeh became Cork City's youngster ever goal-scorer but the SSE Airtricity First Division leaders were held to a 1-1 draw by Wexford.

A double from defender Luke Turner might have kick-started Saint Patrick's Athletic's season, even if he were upstaged late on by the teenage sensation Mason Melia. Turner's first-half double eased the tension in Dublin 8 and Rovers' boss John Russell had humanitarian concerns that trumped this defeat as Nando Pijnaker was carried off the pitch after a horrible clash with his own goalkeeper.

Shamrock Rovers stretched their unbeaten run to five games after goals from Darragh Burns and Roberto Lopes gave them a 2-1 victory over Waterford in front of 3,681 spectators at the RSC.
