The visitors opened the scoring in spectacular fashion on 38 minutes when Gavan Holohan beat the goalkeeper from 25 yards.

Rovers changed their team for the second half and equalised on 74 minutes, Graham Burke with a header into an empty net.
The result means Waterford remain in third position just three points behind leaders Cork City.
90+4' FULL-TIME whistle blows here and it's a hard-earned point for Alan Reynolds' Blues side. Rovers put the Blues under pressure late but couldn't find a winner past a resolute Blues defence. 1-1 #SRFCvWFC
