High stakes as Saints host Dundalk in vital title showdown

Joint league leaders St Patrick’s Athletic and Dundalk meet in a top-of-the-table clash at Richmond Park this evening which will screened live on RTÉ2 (kick-off 7.30pm).

The home side have the better goal difference but, with just six games to play in the Airtricity League Premier Division, tonight’s match could have a potentially decisive say in the destination of the title.

For Pats boss Liam Buckley, this is the type of high stakes encounter that should require no extra motivation for the Saints players.
