Compiled by Matt Keane

Dundalk proved too strong for Waterford FC at the RSC on Friday night.

Andy Boyle headed the visitors in front after 25 minutes when he rose unmarked to finish off a Michael Duffy free-kick from the right.

The Lilywhites went further in front on 42 minutes when Prince Mutswunguma pushed a Dundalk player inside the 18 yards box and Chris Shields gave Paul Martin no chance from the resultant penalty.

Michael Duffy scored a wonder goal one minute into the second half. He found the net with his right foot from the left flank.

John Martin struck the Dundalk woodwork on two occasions afterwards.

Waterford had only two outfield substitutes due to injuries. The Blues manager Kevin Sheedy said afterwards that he would not put Academy player's on the bench as he feels young player's are not getting protection from referees.
