"With a Dublin derby against Bohemians to come on Friday night, Stephen Bradley's side didn't have a moments worry once striking the front through Josh Honohan as not even a late Tommy Lonergan stunner could deny them victory. Rovers can not win the title by beating their arch rivals Bohs in Tallaght and Derry lose in Drogheda. James Olayinka took advantage of a misplaced Adam Matthews pass on 14 minutes before racing at the visiting defence, but his powerful right-footed strike"
"The Blues were on the attack again on 23 minutes as Olayinka played a neat pass inside for Sam Glenfield, who let fly with a cracking strike from distance only for his effort to whistle wide of the target with McGinty scrambling across goal. It took a stunning save from McMullan to deny the Tallaght outfit five minutes later when Matt Healy sent in"
Shamrock Rovers defeated Waterford 2-1. Josh Honohan opened the scoring after Adam Matthews' long throw was touched on to the back post. Rovers doubled their lead shortly after a triple substitution when Graham Burke assisted Matt Healy for a 25-yard left-footed strike. Waterford had early chances from James Olayinka and Sam Glenfield and saw McMullan produce a stunning save from a Dan Cleary header. In the final minute Tommy Lonergan volleyed a header from Dan Cleary back across goal to pull a goal back for the home side.
