Cool Guy strikes as Saints punish City

RYAN GUY struck late for St Patrick’s Athletic at Turner’s Cross last night to deny Cork City a chance of closing the gap at the top of the League of Ireland Premier Division.

It was too late for the dominant home side to respond to the American’s strike, Guy clinically slotting the ball underneath Dan Connor having been set up by Gareth O’Connor’s sliding pass at the edge of the box.

Pats’ involvement in the Europa League saw to it that this tie was brought forward from Friday week – something which suited the hosts, who welcome Roy Keane’s Ipswich Town that same weekend.
