UCD AFC closed the gap to league leaders Cabinteely as Pat Devlin's side suffered their first defeat of the season.

The Students' victory never looked in doubt as just five minutes after the break, Yoyo Mahdy's strike doubled their lead and Mahdy completed his brace in the final minute of the match.
Wexford 0-3 Drogheda United
Drogheda United closed the gap at the top of the First Division to just two points thanks to an impressive second-half performance at Ferrycarrig Park.

Just four minutes later, Doyle notched his second of the game and Hugh Douglas secured the points in the final minutes of the game.
