Stephen Kenny wants the rousing win over Shamrock Rovers on the eve of the summer break to be the springboard for St Patrick’s Athletic’s revival as the second half of the season begins in earnest tonight with the visit of Bohemians to Richmond Park.

Substitute Brandon Kavanagh struck a 96th minute winner as St Pat’s came from behind to down the champions 2-1 in what was only Kenny’s second league win in seven games since taking charge in mid-May.
