Bolger beauty gets title party going at Pat’s

St Patrick’s Athletic 2 Sligo Rovers 0

The win, which stretched their unbeaten run to 13 games in the league, was all the sweeter given it came against reigning champions Sligo Rovers who, 12 months to the day, had beaten St Patrick’s 3-2 at the Showgrounds to lift last year’s crown.

“Relieved, to some degree,” was St Pat’s manager Liam Buckley’s first comment on what was his second title as a manger.
