Pat’s make giant leap

St Patrick’s Athletic, who last won the league in 2002, duly took a big step towards replicating that achievement in 2013 with this thoroughly deserved two-goal victory over their closest rivals Dundalk.
To complete a miserable night for the visitors, Stephen Kenny’s side finished the game with 10 men after Stephen O’Donnell was sent off but, by then, Pat’s were already firmly in control of the game thanks to second-half goals from Chris Forrester and Daryl Kavanagh.
