Pat Hoban fires Dundalk top
The striker has been in scintillating form since his return to the League of Ireland and took his tally for the season to 18 with a superb treble. His only previous hat-trick came five years ago against Bohemians.
Tommy Barrett’s side arrived at Oriel Park with more than this game to worry about but gave a good account of themselves for long spells only to collapse after gifting Dundalk a second from the spot midway through the second half.
