Waterford FC kept up their remarkable return to the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division with a 2-0 win over Limerick FC at the Markets Field.

Duffus bagged his fourth league goal of the season in the first half and Keegan made sure of all three points late on from the penalty spot.

Limerick had the first clear chance of the game when a Barry Maguire free kick put Will Fitzgerald through but he was denied by an excellent Lawrence Vigouroux save. Duffus soon had Waterford in front after being set up by former Limerick player Bastien Hery.

Shane Duggan should have levelled for Limerick only to be denied by Vigouroux, while Gavan Holohan should also have added a second for Waterford towards the end of the first half.

The away side dominated proceedings after the break and were rewarded with a second goal through Keegan's penalty six minutes from time that sealed a deserved win.
