Dublin City 2 UCD 1: Dublin City came from behind to claim all three points and consign UCD to their sixth defeat of the season at Dalymount Park tonight.

In tricky conditions, the surface at Dalymount was subject to a pitch inspection this afternoon, Dermot Keely's side fell behind as early as the third minute, Paul Byrne firing the visitors in front.

But City, who were missing Stuart Malcolm, Gavin McDonnell and Ger McCarthy, have proved resolute in their debut season in the top flight and drew level on the hour mark, Mark Rooney getting the equaliser.

And with ten minutes to play, defender Robbie Hedderman produced a rare finish to secure the points.
