Shamrock Rovers 3 UCD 1
Shamrock rovers returned to the top of the eircom league Premier Division tonight after a 3-1 victory over UCD at Tolka Park.
Sean Francis gave the Hoops a first half lead when he rose to meet a Marc Kenny corner at the back post. Rovers had the lion’s share of possession during the first period but were punished for not adding to their lead when Robert McAuley poked home an equaliser for the Students on half time.
Francis struck again after the interval and big centre-half Terry Palmer, who had earlier cleared off the line, made sure of the points when he headed home from close range.
