Waterford 1-1 Sligo Rovers
Meanwhile, the evening's later kick off saw Kevin Sheedy’s Waterford play host to Sligo Rovers.
Things were tied one-all for the sides, after Romeo Parkes’ superb volley for Sligo cancelled out Cian Kavanagh’s early goal.
However, Jordan Gibson later made space at the edge of the Blues' box and curled the ball into the top corner, scoring a win for the Rovers.
