Derry City kept the heat on league leaders Shamrock Rovers.
WILL PATCHING NETTED the pick of the bunch as Derry City fired six past relegated UCD at Brandywell to keep the heat on league leaders Shamrock Rovers.
Cameron McJannet, substitute Brandon Kavanagh, Michael Duffy and Jamie McGonigle added further goals as Ruaidhri Higgins’ troops put the students to the sword once again. Derry started on the frontfoot and Patching tried his luck from 25 yards but he curled a well-struck effort narrowly wide on three minutes.Derry were in front two minutes later after a brilliant run and inch perfect cross from Duffy which found Mullen in space and the Scotsman volleyed clinically past the keeper.
Patching delivered the piece of magic Derry needed just two minutes after the restart to double the Brandywell club’s advantage. McMullan nipped in to take the ball off the toes of Adam Wells and laid it into the path of Patching who nonchalantly scooped the ball over the head of the keeper from 25 yards and it nestled into the corner of the net.
