Barry McNamee lifts Derry to second

St Patrick’s Athletic 0 Derry City 1: A delightful second half goal from Barry McNamee got Derry back to winning ways and up to second place in the Premier Division table as they flummoxed St Patrick’s at Richmond Park.

A third league defeat on the spin, and fifth of the season, leaves Sr. Pat’s languishing in mid-table.

And though Liam Buckley side had a big shout for a late penalty, they can have few complaints as a super save from Brendan Clarke prevented Derry from winning by more.
