Saints win adds to Waterford's blues

St Patricks Athletic 1 Waterford United 0

Keith Dunne got Saints back to winning ways with the only goal of a poor game to inflict further misery on sorry Blues who finish with 10 men.

Dunne struck for a cracking winner on 40 minutes when latching onto the return pass from Robbie Doyle to flick a well-placed header past Packie Holden.

Gerard Rowe and Barry Prenderville came close to adding to that lead late on before Blues' defender David Breen was shown a straight red card on 85 minutes for an apparent headbutt on Rowe.
