Waterford FC aiming for positive result in the capital tonight

It's another vital night in the Airtricity League Premier Division as Waterford FC head to the Belfield Bowl today to play UCD who are now propping up the league table.

Waterford will be hoping to end their recent poor form, having lost to at Finn Harps home to Finn Harps last weekend.

The students will also be keen to turn things around, having suffered a 7-nil hiding at the hands of Shamrock Rovers last Sunday.

Rory Feely, the Blues captain believes results to date this season between the two clubs this season will count for little as both teams have many new players; "the two of us were chopping and changing with the transfer season there so again it's new squads playing against each other, still trying to gel and find out what style of play suits us, we're going to be fighting to get ourselves three points and get back up the table".

Rory Feely says the return of injured and suspended players will help them get a positive result at the Belfield Bowl.

There's just one other fixture in the top flight, at 8pm, it's Finn Harps versus Derry City at Finn Park.

Meanwhile, Shamrock Rovers will bring a 2-1 lead to Cyprus next Thursday for the second leg of their Europa League second qualifying round tie against Apollon Limassol.

The visitors scored first, before Lee Grace equalised for Rovers, the goal set up by Jack Byrne.

Then Byrne turned provider again in the 58th minute for Roberto Lopes to head home.

Head coach Stephen Bradley says the Hoops fans were superb.
