Dolan delight as City finally lay Pats’ bogey

St. Patrick’s Athletic 0 Cork City 2

Their dominance of St. Pat's attack was complete, and they deserved a win that gave manager Pat Dolan his first success over his former charges.

The win Cork's first over St. Pats in their fifth meeting of the season was significant. The three eircom League points that were gained strengthened Cork's prospects of European football next season, and extended their unbeaten run to seven.
