Eircom League: St Pat's back on form

St. Patrick's Athletic 2 Shamrock Rovers 1

St. Pat's put their nine points deduction to the back of their minds as

they came from behind to beat league leaders Shamrock Rovers at Richmond

Park.

Sean Francis headed home a Billy Woods cross to give Rovers the perfect

start after just six minutes.

But St. Pat's hit back to level in first-half stoppage time when Mbabazi

tapped the ball home after Liam Kelly had lobbed Rovers keeper Tony O'Dowd.

Paul Osam then scored St. Pat's winner three minutes after the break when

rising at the back post to head home Martin Russell's superb free-kick.
