Dublin City 1 (McGauley 57) (Horgan s/o 63) Sligo Rovers 0 (O'Dowd s/o 63)
Dundalk 1 (Ward 38) Bray Wanderers 1 (Zayed pen 48)
Limerick 1 (Keating 69) Cobh Ramblers 1 (Yelverton 51)
------
It was only the sixteenth goal of Dublin City's season of fourteen games, but probably their most important. McGauley's goal sees them rise two points ahead of Finn Harps with the Donegal side due to play tomorrow night.
Steve Yelverton set Cobh Ramblers on the way to their fourth win of the season on 51 minutes at the Pike Rovers SG, but Limerick equalised with twenty minutes remaining through Eoin Keating, to maintain fifth position.
Third from bottom Dundalk are becoming the draw specialists of the First Division - they managed their ninth one tonight of fourteen games drawing 1-1 with visitors Bray Wanderers. U20 international Eamon Zayed cancelled out David Ward's lead goal (38 minutes) after the break, with a well-struck penalty.
