Bohemians got their league campaign off to a perfect start with three deserved points against Waterford United at the Regional Sports Centre last night.
After a scoreless first half the United defence was finally unhinged five minutes into the second period. A Mark Dempsey cross took a slight deflection off a defender and Jamie Harris scored with a looping header from 14 yards.
On the hour a miskick by centre half Lee Doherty allowed Glen Crowe to score from eight yards.
