Cory O’Sullivan scored the other decisive goal as Shamrock Rovers move up to third.
SECOND-HALF SUBSTITUTE Graham Burke popped up with a crucial winning goal for champions Shamrock Rovers as they got over the midweek European defeat with a hard earned win over Waterford FC for a second time at the RSC this season in the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division to move up to third.
Although Dean McMenamy could have had the immediate response for Waterford at the other end two minutes later, he skied a shot wide of the target before Louis Jones was called into action to make two saves in dying both Jack Byrne and Dylan Watts. Ryan Burke’s long throw was headed clear to Rowan McDonald, who hooked a left-footed ball into the area where keeper Leon Pohls failed to commit that saw Christie Pattisson get to the ball first to head home from close-range.
