Top two finish level in thriller

Waterford United 1 Shelbourne 1

Daryl Murphy maintained the Blues' terrific start to the season with a second half equaliser in a thrilling top of the table clash at the RSC.

Murphy struck to force the ball home on 52 minutes after Shels' keeper Steve Williams couldn’t hold a shot from Pat Purcell.

Earlier Glen Fitzpatrick brought a tight game to life with the lead goal for Shels on 29 minutes. Wes Hoolahan sent over a lazy cross and Fitzpatrick beat Dan Connor with a looping header.
