Rovers run riot as UCC fall flat

SHAMROCK ROVERS overcame a sloppy opening to comprehensively account of 10-man UCD at Belfield Bowl last night.

Rovers had a scare on 14 minutes when after a bout of intricate passing in midfield, Paul Corry curled a shot which Alan Mannus did well to collect at his near post.

On the half-hour UCD’s impressive Sean Harding cut inside Billy Dennehy far too easily and unleashed a rising drive from 25 yards that narrowly cleared Mannus’s crossbar.
