Malahide United also delivered a statement of intent with a 5-2 win over Crumlin United on Sunday.
Kevin Craven’s side bested their Dublin 8 foes on the road with their biggest victory of the season yet.
And they did so with Garreth Craven and Dylan Cashin both scoring twice. Danila Bodganov also found the net for the North Dublin side
Jamie Whelan and former Bray Wanderers winger Ger Shortt were on target for Crumlin but it was not to be.
The win sends Malahide up to fourth in the table, just three points behind league leaders Wayside.
A big 3 points on the road today as we beat a very good and well organised @crumlinunitedfc

Killester-Donnycarney had to withstand a late fightback from Maynooth University Town to see off the Kildare outfit 3-2 at Hadden Park.
Former Sunderland youth Robert Dunne scored his third goal of the season to open the scoring while Dean Kelly and Akrim Millitti were also on target to put the Dubliners 3-0 up.
But a late brace from former Longford Town striker Callum Warfield ensured a nervy finish for Killester-Donnycarney as they held out.
The win sees them move up to sixth in the table while Maynooth are still searching for their first points of the campaign.

Elsewhere, Bluebell United had to fight back from 2-0 down to salvage a point against St Francis at home.
Darragh Murphy’s brace looked like it had set Francis on their way to a pivotal result but two goals in 15 second-half minutes from Bluebell levelled it.
Josh Ojelabi and Aaron Brazil both scored for the Bell.
Bangor Celtic also held St Mochta’s to a 0-0 draw.
