Cork City 3 UCD 2
John O'Flynn, who hit two goals on his debut against Shels a fortnight ago, worked the oracle again with another brace to make it two wins out of two for City.
O'Flynn fired City in front on 14 minutes.
It was a short-lived lead, lasting just four minutes as Robbie Martin levelled for College.
Martin then missed a 29th minute penalty beofre City regained the lead through Billy Woods six minutes before half-time.
O'Flynn got his second on 73 minutes but UCD weren't dead yet and Robbie Doyle gave them hope when scoring from a penalty two minutes later.
