Their first back-to-back wins of the season moves Waterford up to sixth place,

Counting through the missing players for Shamrock Rovers last Friday night you needed all ten digits with Dan Cleary suspended and nine other outfield players out injured. However Hoops Head Coach Stephen Bradley wasn’t using that as an excuse for his team’s failure to beat Galway United.

The Hoops will go second on Monday night and move within two points of top spot should they beat Drogheda United in their re-arranged match.

The Hoops welcome Galway United to Dublin 24 on Friday night – a venue where the visitors have failed to win on each and every occasion when they have travelled to Tallaght to take on Rovers in a first team competitive game.

Shane Farrell was sent off in a game dictated by the poor quality of the Tolka Park pitch.

Stephen Bradley’s men hit three second-half goals in the space of 13 minutes.

Alex Nolan’s first goal for the Saints proved a welcome winner.

On a record-breaking night, Shamrock Rovers were a real hit as they cruised to their fifth successive home win over Bohemians, shifting through the gears in an ominous second-half performance.

Daniel Cleary and Jake Mulraney are League of Ireland rivals, but the childhood friends are a united front in charge of their local Leinster Senior League side.
