UCD leapfrog Blues with a win

UCD 3 Waterford United 0

Goals from unrelated Byrnes Conan and Paul inside five first half minutes laid the foundation for UCD's first win of the season as Waterford slumped to a fourth defeat on the spin.

Conan Byrne struck for the opener on 24 minutes when heading home Bogdan Opera’s corner.

The second goal came out of nothing as Paul Byrne controlled a long ball, managed to get past David Breen before shooting beyond Dean Delaney.

Paul Byrne added his second and his side’s third with a stunning 35-yard drive past a hapless Delaney two minutes from time.
