AS scoreless draws go this one took the biscuit. "It was a bad game," said Home Farm/Everton manager Dermot Keely. And, the point gained goes nowhere to alleviate his team's plight at the foot of the table.

They did have the two best chances yesterday and it might have been very different if Home Farm/Everton's Karl Gannon had scored from a fiercely-hit, angled drive in the second minute. But UCD goalkeeper, Seamus Kelly, saved superbly.

Proceedings did liven up a little early in the second-half. UCD's Mick O'Byrne lobbing over when he might have done better.

Kelly then made the save of the game on 58 minutes to deprive Vaughan with his feet, the ball squirming away for a corner.
