Waterford held by the Candystripes

Waterford United 1 Derry City 1

Recent signing Michael Holt scored for the second week running to rescue a point for Derry in a drab game at the RSC.

Holt cut in from the right to smash a stunning left-footer past Dan Connor for a wonderful equaliser on 73 minutes.

Blues' new boy Neale Fenn had set up the lead for the home side seven minutes earlier when he laid the ball off for midfielder Mark Clifford who drilled a low shot past Alan Gough from yards.
