Brendan Clarke returns to torment St Pat’s

St Patrick’s Athletic 0 Limerick 2: Limerick showed no adverse affects from their managerial upheaval during the week as interim boss Willie Boland’s side came away from Richmond Park with three big points.

Brendan Clarke saved a penalty as he returned to torment his beloved St Pat’s in between goals from Tony Whitehead and John O’Flynn winning it for the Shannonsiders.

St Pat’s saw more of the ball in a relatively quiet opening; Josh O’Hanlon heading tamely over the top from Kurtis Byrne’s cross in from the left on eight minutes.
