Shamrock Rovers pay price for St Pats’ revival

Shamrock Rovers 0 St Patrick’s Athletic 2: Goals in either half from Billy Dennehy and Christy Fagan gave Pat’s all three points from this entertaining Dublin derby at Tallaght Stadium. Dennehy opened the scoring as the game entered first half injury time with Fagan scoring the second early in the second half.

Rovers will be disappointed not to have taken at least a point from this game because they dominated for long periods.

On ten minutes Brandon Miele curled in a corner kick for Rovers that was headed clear by Ian Bermingham. But the ball was collected by Simon Madden who ran to the goal line before crossing into the six-yard box but no Rovers man could react to Madden’s good play and Pat’s were able to clear.
