Shane Tracey opened the scoring from the spot just past the half hour after United defender Mike Elwood was sent off for handling a Denis Behan shot inside the box.

David O’Leary nodded home a Rory Gaffney cross on the stroke of half time and James McGrath set up man-of-the-match Gaffney for a third 12 minutes after the interval.
