Patching and Hoban on target for visitors at the RSC.
DERRY CITY CLAIMED their first away win of the season in their 600th away fixture since their inception when they proved too good for a disjointed Waterford FC at the RSC.
After Derry won the meeting at the Brandywell earlier in the year, they didn’t have to get out of second gear really to dispatch of Keith Long’s charges. A quiet first-half changed on 35 minutes when Kelly replaced the injured Ben Doherty and, within minutes, he won a spot-kick when fouled by Robbie McCourt with Patching firing past Sargeant.
Waterford had a chance to get themselves back into the game with 81 minutes on the clock when Connor Parsons turned provider for Padraig Amond on the right-side of the area, but his effort from ten yards came crashing back off the underside of the crossbar with Brian Maher beaten.
