Soccer: Longford and Pat's share the spoils

Longford Town 1 St. Patrick's Athletic 1

The width of a post saved Town's bacon as they made the play-off and a shot at Premier Division survival.

Saints sub Sean Mannion cracked a shot off a post with just two minutes remaining.

Stuart Holt had given Town the lead with a stunning free kick from 35 yards on 53 minutes.

Phil Hughes equalised for self-proclaimed champs Saints ten minutes from time.

St Pat's must await their appeal against being docked 15 points to see if they are champions.
