A double from Graham Burke for Shamrock Rovers in their first half against UCD put them firmly in control at Tallaght Stadium, where a third from Jack Byrne cemented the home win in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division.
Meanwhile at Tolka Park, Shelbourne took a 2-1 win over Sligo Rovers. Daniel Lafferty had the visitors off to a good start, netting in the 36th minute, but a goal from Matty Smith for Shelbourne was compounded by an own-goal just before the 60-minute mark after a deflection off John Mahon.

Finally, Dylan Grimes claimed the only score for Drogheda as they fell to St Patrick's Athletic after a brace from Christ Forrester was complimented by Eoin Doyle's addition at the death.
