Airtricity League wrap

A first half goal from midfielder Stephen Maher gave St. Patrick's Athletic a 1-0 win over Shelbourne to keep Liam Buckley's side a point clear at the top of the Premier Division table in a dramatic night of Airtricity League action.

The only goal of the game at Richmond Park came six minutes before half-time. Greg Bolger's fine pass put Conan Byrne in on the right. And though Shels' Derek Doyle made the tackle, the ball broke for Maher who shot home.
