Pats snatch the points from Oriel Park

Dundalk 1 St. Patrick's Athletic 2

Danny North‘s fifth goal in four games completed St. Patrick‘s comeback at Oriel Park to move Pete Mahon's side up to second in the Premier Division table.

Central defender Colin Hawkins put Dundalk ahead following a corner 11 minutes into the second half.

But substitute Ian Daly made an immediate impact when he levelled for Saints on 69mins, turning well in the box to shoot past Peter Cherrie.

Fellow striker North then maintained his hot scoring streak to scoop home the rebound on 75mins for the winner after Cherrie parried his initial shot.
