Pat's account for Drogheda to maintain winning run (RTE.ie)

Tim Clancy used his substitutes bench to great effect as St Patrick's Athletic stretched their winning streak to five games in defeating Drogheda United 2-0 ...

They competed but as in Sligo last weekend, they were blunt in the final third. It was also the 21st occasion in 29 that the Saints have kept a clean sheet at the interval. They fully deserved it and Clancy can elicit great satisfaction in the way his changes impacted on the game. The break signalled a 22nd time in 30 games this season that United had failed to score in the first half. They remain in touch with the sides above. The Saints join champions Shamrock Rovers, Derry City and Dundalk as the teams to have strung together a five-game winning run this season.
