Full-time here at the Bowl. UCD AFC 0-2 Shamrock Rovers. Match report to follow.

The defenders getting in on the act here... Hoare dribbles around defenders on the edge of the UCD box before Gannon has a shot go narrowly wide.

2 additional minutes here at the Bowl.

As we edge toward full-time Shamrock Rovers continue to look comfortable.

Power makes it 2! A Sean Kavanagh corner kick is not dealt with and Simon Power finds space in the box to knock the ball past Healy. 2-0 at the Bowl!

Farrugia has been impressive since his introduction against his former club. His hard work down the right flank eventually gives Power a chance to get a shot on target which is well held by Healy.

The second half has largely followed the first with plenty of possession for the visitors, Healy has been forced into a few saves but has been largely comfortable. UCD are trying to break when they can but finding chances few and far between.

Double change for Rover as Serdeniuk and Finn are replaced by Lyons and Farrugia. Big cheers for Lyons on his final game for the Hoops!

Chance! The hosts find themselves 2 v 2 after a great header by Haist which finds Jinad. The pair drive goalwards and Jinad returns the ball to Haist who hits the target but Pohls does well to save the effort.

Three changes for the Hoops as Simon Power, Gideon Tetteh and Aidomo Emakhu replace Greene, Gaffney and Ferizaj.

First save of the day for Leon Pohls after some excellent work by Aaron Corish to dribble through the Rovers half and tee up Jinad, his effort is drilled goalward and is well held by Pohls.

Alex Nolan is introduced for Donal Higgins.

Jeers and whistles from the away fans as a rare UCD shot from Keaney finds row Z...if it was to exist in the Bowl.

Miss!... Ronan Finn won't want to see that one again! Rory Gaffney does well to find Greene who turns and shoots only for the ball to knock off the post and back in into the danger zone. Finn is alive to it but somehow blasts it wide.

Much of the same from both sides so far, Rovers with plenty of the ball as UCD try to contain the Hoops. Nothing to test half-time substitute, Lorcan Healy, just yet.

And we're back underway! 4 changes for UCD at half-time as Healy, Keaney, Gallagher and O\'Connor are introduced.

Half-time at the Bowl and Rovers lead 1-0.

Corner for Rovers comes after a good dribble and low cross from Rory Gaffney is dealt with by Sam Todd. Kian Moore does well to hold the subsequent set-piece.

UCD remind us of their threat as Higgins picks the ball up in the middle of the park with acres of space to drive forward. On the edge of the box, he selflessly tries to tee up Jinad to his right who ultimately could not control the pass. Grace manages to clear before being fouled by the Jinad and the danger is averted.

The first yellow of the game as Victor Serdeniuk goes in recklessly on Sean Brennan.

A lovely dink over the UCD defence by Justin Ferizaj has the away fans on the edge of their seats. Rory Gaffney almost gets there but Kian Moore is alive to the danger.

It comes to nothing as Caffrey's delivery is headed clear by Sean Hoare.

Chance for UCD to deliver a ball into the box as Lee Grace pulls back Tobi Jinad cynically but the referee decides to keep his cards in his pocket on this occasion.

Sean Gannon deals with the first real threat from UCD. Aaron Courish sprays a lovely ball diagonally across the pitch but Gannon stands up well to John Haist and deals with the threat. The Students are enjoying their first spell of possession all game here.

Ronan Finn is the next player to connect to a cross with the experienced midfielder bursting in late and directing his effort over the bar.

Chance! Greene gets his head on a cross to the back post which causes Moore all sorts of problems. The UCD keeper fumbles the ball before eventually swatting it out for a corner.

Appeals for a penalty as the ball appears to strike Harvey O'Brien's arm which Derek Tomney deems to be sufficiently low not to warrant a penalty.

Confident start from Rovers as you would expect. A lot happening down their right flank with Ronan Finn. Rory Gaffney also has started brightly by dropping into deep positions to disrupt the Students.

GOAL! Shamrock Rovers pound the UCD box with crosses and it pays off early! Aaron Greene pounces on the latest one to give the visitors an early lead!

Donal Higgins gets us going here at the Bowl!

Kickoff is just moments away here and Rovers fans give special applause for Andy Lyons. The wing-back is on the bench today and will be joining EFL Championship side Blackpool in January after a very successful stint at Tallaght Stadium. Touch of class as the UCD team gives the Hoops a guard of honour onto the pitch.

Final preparations are ongoing here as the Bowl packs up. Plenty of Rovers fans made the short journey for this Dublin derby so should be a good atmosphere!

UCD also ring in the changes and rest key players ahead of their playoff final against Waterford FC in just 5 days' time. Just 4 players Kian Moore, Evan Caffrey, Sean Brennan and Sam Todd retain their place from the 3-1 victory over Finn Harps last Friday.

6 changes for the away side as Sean Gannon, Ronan Finn, Aaron Greene, Sean Kavanagh, Victor Serdeniuk and Justin Ferizaj are introduced.
