St Pat's maintain battle for third spot with Dublin derby victory over ... (Independent.ie)

As they succumbed to yet another defeat in a truly miserable season, the most important man for Bohemians was not on the field for their derby defeat to St ...

Despite the loss of Lennon they kept their shape and restricted Bohs to half-chances, a shot from Jordan Doherty wide of the target on 30 minutes while Jamie Clarke's free kick just before half time was blocked. Pat's introduced Mark Doyle at half time and he made an immediate impact, scoring with his first touch two minutes after the restart. But in reality this game, played in front of a healthy crowd of 5,106, was not a contest, not even when Bohs man James Clarke scored seven minutes from time to make it 2-1 as Pat’s had another goal in them, from Owolabi, a player linked with a pre-season move to Bohs but who ended up in Inchicore, not Phibsboro.

Saints continue European quest at raucous Richmond Park (RTE.ie)

St Patrick's Athletic kept up the pressure on Dundalk in the battle for third place with a comfortable win over Bohemians on a balmy autumnal evening at ...

Saints looked for a free out in vain; a nervy finale was in store. Alan Reynolds seemingly turned down the chance to succeed him; Ian Ryan was out then in then out again, in the Wexford dugout tonight for a dead rubber against Galway. It was nearly three when Forrester exhibited world-class technique from a dead ball to rattle Tadhg Ryan's crossbar. Saints remained in the ascendancy and Doyle teed up Thijs Timmermans, who shot badly over. It came to nought. Keith Long had been the league's longest-serving manager.

The Saints and Bohemians are going in opposite directions at the moment. Moments later, Forrester came close to a third with a vicious free kick that struck the crossbar and Saints always looked to threaten. It is alien to the type of display that Devine has promised to deliver, but it was also a line-up that was alien to most Bohemians fans. Mark Doyle had only come on at half time but he was sharp as took advantage of Doherty’s slip to latch onto Forrester’s through ball and slide the ball home from the edge of the area. And on his evidence, Dundalk are going to have to keep winning as the Saints are in top form. The Saints kept up their pursuit of a top three spot with a 2-1 win over the Gypsies in front of a sell out 5,106 crowd at Richmond Park last night.

tangled with O’Reilly in the middle of the park expecting a free out. But from the resulting free kick, Clarke hammered the ball off the Saints wall for a corner. In a weird twist of fate, it was a defeat by the same scoreline at home to St. The Athletic’s confidence and momentum was obvious from the off as it took just seven minutes to get ahead. The whistle never came and man-of-the-match James Clarke played on and bent in one of the goals of the season, curling a top class strike into the top corner. The incoming Gypsies boss was looking on from the stands to run the rule over his new squad and there was perhaps an element of a number of players playing for their future,

LOI: St Patrick's Athletic and Dundalk win (BreakingNews.ie)

New Bohemians manager Declan Devine will hardly have been impressed by his side's outing at Richmond Park tonight. They lost 3-1 away to St. Pat's, ...
