Grant goal moves Rovers closer to Shels

Shamrock Rovers 1 St. Patrick's Athletic 0

Tony Grant scored an 85th minute winner to move second placed Rovers to within a point of leaders Shelbourne.

St. Pat's Paul Osam wasted the best chance of the first half when he shot wide after great work by Ugandan Mbabazi.

But Rovers shaded this Dublin derby and struck for their late winner when Grant stabbed the loose ball home in a goalmouth scramble following James Keddy's corner.
