[b]Sporting Fingal 1 – 3 Waterford United[/b]A combination of wasteful finishing, calamitous defending, and a missed penalty, cost Waterford United another opportunity to move to the top of the table, and to take advantage of a Dundalk slip-up. In torrential rain in Santry, the Blues missed a sucession of chances, while their hosts were converting theirs, and the better side for most of the night somehow ended up at the wrong end of a 3-1 scoreline.

With just six games remaining things are hotting up in the title race as Waterford United go looking for a win at Sporting Fingal this Friday (KO 7.45pm).

[b]Cork City U-20 1 – 1 Waterford United U-20[/b] Following victories over Cobh Ramblers and FC Carlow, the young Blues travelled to Bishopstown to play Cork City, and a 1-1 draw there has put them in a share of the top of the league with the Leesiders.

[b]Waterford United 0 – 0 Athlone Town[/b]It was a frustrating night all round for Waterford United as they couldn’t manage the goal their play merited to see off Athlone Town and take full advantage of Dundalk’s defeat to Longford Town last night.

[b]Waterford United 2 – 1 FC Carlow[/b]Waterford United’s U-20s were too strong for FC Carlow last Wednesday night in what was the Leinster club’s first ever league match. The young Blues ran out 2-1 winners in the end, courtesy of two headed goals from the in-form Willie John Kiely, in a very entertaining and action-packed match, with both teams playing at a high tempo.Their next match takes place this Sunday when they take on Cork City at Bishopstown, with a 2.00pm kick-off.

There was no jackpot winner in tonight’s club lotto draw. Proceedings were delayed for 24 hours due to difficulties with the return of a large number of tickets, but all were included in the draw. The top prize now rises to €2,900 for the next draw, which will take place on Wednesday, February 18th as planned.

With just seven matches to go, Waterford United will be looking for nothing less than the full three points on offer when they host Athlone Town this Friday (KO 7.45pm).
