Being bottom of the table without a goal five games into the season is but a distant memory for Bohemians as a third win in four games over Dundalk at Dalymount Park last night moved them into fifth, their highest placing of the season.

Evan McMillan’s first goal of the season beganBohemians’ healing process following their Europa League humbling at Thór Akureyri.

It may have seen them stretch their unbeaten league run to nine games but for Cork City, last night’s draw with Bohemians felt like a defeat as they were denied consecutive victories and clean sheets thanks to a 91st minute penalty from Keith Ward.

Utter frustration was all Bohemians had to show for their effort at Dalymount as they failed to breakdown their dogged Icelandic visitors.

Bohemians produced a top class display to overcome bitter rivals Shamrock Rovers in last night’s Airtricity League Premier Division encounter at a hostile Dalymount Park where fans invaded the pitch.

Dundalk will host Bohemians tonight at Oriel Park looking to build on their impressive victory at the Brandywell last week.

Sligo Rovers are hoping to extend their three-point lead at the top of the Airtricity Premier Division when they play host the only other unbeaten side in the division, St Patrick’s Athletic at the Showgrounds tonight (7.05pm).

Bohemians host former manager Roddy Collins' Monaghan United side at 7.45pm tonight.

Cork City boss Tommy Dunne was quick to insist there was much room for improvement after last week’s rousing 6-0 win over Monaghan United at Turner’s Cross.

Bohemians and Cork City fans are both more used to seeing their teams fighting title races rather than struggling near the bottom of the division, so tonight’s fixture has an unusual look to it (kick off: 7.45pm).

Shelbourne recorded their first win of the season, riding their luck in accounting for Bohemians in their Airtricity League Premier Division encounter at Dalymount Park last night.

GRAHAM CUMMINS came back to haunt his old club last night as Cork City kept their bid for promotion to the Airtricity Premier Division on track with a 3-1 success over Waterford United in the Munster derby meeting at the RSC last night.

A MAGNIFICENT performance from Daryl Kavanagh saw St Patrick’s Athletic ease into the quarter-finals of the Ford FAI Cup as the Dublin outfit proved far too good for a disappointing Waterford at the RSC.
