Conan Noonan salvaged a deserved point for Waterford with a late equaliser in this thrilling roller coaster at Richmond Park. Mason Melia’s brilliant first half brace looked to have got St Pat’s back to winning ways after Monday’s 4-0 mauling at Shamrock Rovers. But having taken an early lead, John Coleman’s Blues came to Inchicore to play and got their reward through the impressive Noonan 10 minutes from time.

Another cleverly taken goal from the precocious Michael Noonan sent Shamrock Rovers on their way to an unexpectedly facile fourth successive win as they punished injury-hit St Patrick’s Athletic’s defensive frailty at Tallaght Stadium. Man of the match Graham Burke rowed in with a brace before Aaron Greene added a fourth to inflict St Pat’s heaviest defeat since Stephen Kenny took charge just over a year ago.

Alan Reynolds has praised Dayle Rooney for epitomising Bohemians' reborn confidence. Capping an excellent al- round performance, winger Rooney scored the only goal of the game from a first-half penalty as Bohs beat champions Shelbourne 1-0 in the north Dublin derby at Dalymount Park on Friday night. Shels’ head coach Damien Duff had to watch from the grass embankment up behind the goal at the school end as he served a one-match suspension for an accumulation of five yellow cards.

Dayle Rooney capped a man-of-the-match display with his first goal of the season as Bohemians defeated champions Shelbourne in a cracking north Dublin derby at Dalymount Park. It was a night to forget for Shelbourne who, with head coach Damien Duff absent as he served a suspension, had both captain Mark Coyle and Ali Coote sent off while coach David McAllister was also dismissed from the dugout. Shels have now just one win in seven games since beating Bohemians at Tolka Park a month ago.
