FULL TIME: Dundalk picked up their second win of the season thanks to goals from Daniel Kelly and Patrick Hoban, while UCD is still looking for their first win of the season after a comfortable 2-0 win at Oriel Park. While UCD threatened at times, Stephen O'Donnell's side had large periods of control of the game in a scoreline that could have been much higher due to the crossbar and in-form UCD goalkeeper Lorcan Healy making many crucial saves.
