Wexford have risen to second in the SSE Airtricity Men's First Division after a 1-0 win over Athlone Town at Ferrycarrig Park.
Adam Verdon scored what proved to be the winner for Stephen Elliott's side via a free kick midway through the second half.
The result lifts Wexford up to 16 points, seven adrift of leaders and promotion favourites Cork City who have a game in hand after their match at Treaty United was postponed late on Friday due to an unplayable pitch.
UCD were on course to go second but find themselves third, just a point behind Wexford, following their 1-1 draw at second from bottom Kerry.
The Students lead through Hugh Smith's 56th minute goal in Tralee but a late equaliser from Matthew Britton ensured that Colin Healy's hosts grabbed a point.
Cobh Ramblers climbed up to fifth thanks to a 2-0 win at Finn Harps courtesy of second-half goals from Garry Buckley and Rhys Kelly-Noonan.
Saturday will see Longford Town host fourth-placed Bray Wanderers in a 7.30pm kick-off.
