Airtricity League this weekend…21/07/2019

With the UEFA competitions in full swing, there were just two Airtricity League Premier Division contests played on Friday evening.
The eirSport cameras brought live coverage of the RSC meeting of Waterford and Finn Harps which saw the visitors collect all three points with the only goal coming from the penalty spot. The Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium hosted the meeting of Derry City and Sligo Rovers where the hosts secured a comfortable three nil victory over their ill disciplined visitors who had five players cautioned.

There were two further contests played on Sunday afternoon with Bohemian defeating St Patrick’s Athletic 3-0 in Dalymount Park and Shamrock Rovers crushing UCD 7-0 in Tallaght Stadium.
