SAINT A GOOD RUN AS LIAM HITS WINNER

A WELL WORKED and well taken Liam Boyce goal brought Derry City further capital gain with this smash-and-grab victory at Richmond Park.

Though they deserved their 1-0 win over Shelbourne at Tolka Park on Friday, the Candystripes rode their luck in Inchicore as St Patrick's just couldn't find a way to goal despite a wholly dominant display.

Following losses to Shelbourne and Galway, this marked a third successive defeat for the first time in Stephen Kenny's (below) tenure as Saints manager since taking charge 13 months ago.

It's also now four games without a win at home as St Pat's remain in the bottom half of the table.
