Waterford FC 4 - Cobh Ramblers 0: Waterford FC have moved nine points clear at the summit of the SSE Airtricity League First Division with a comprehensive 4-0 win over second placed Cobh Ramblers in their battle at the RSC on Friday night last.

These are hectic times for Waterford FC. Friday’s First Division win over Athlone Town attracted their biggest crowd of the season at almost 2,000, a fundraiser was held at the greyhound stadium on Saturday and another healthy attendance showed up yesterday at the RSC for the EA Sports Cup game against Cobh Ramblers.

Derry City 0 Cork City 0: It was very much a case of advantage Dundalk as Cork City failed to make inroads following what proved a scoreless bore at the Brandywell last night.

Derry City 2 Finn Harps 2: Three goals in the final 10 minutes in this north-west derby game kept the large attendance on its toes, Harps having led 1-0 from the 20th minute.

Derry City needed a moment of magic from substitute Patrick McClean to earn a point from a 1-1 draw with Longford Town on Saturday night.
