Stephen Bradley side is looking amazing after defeating the Candystripes in Brandywell and leading the defending champions Dundalk with eight points. Contrary to the defending champions Dundalk with a slow start, somehow, it is not looking easy for manager Vinnie Perth.
With the Bohemians delivering an upset over Dundalk, these catapulted to second pale and within six points of their cross-town foes for the battle for first place, as manager Keith Long Gypsies are playing an amazing football lately.
In other results the Rebel Army and Blues shared spoils as for Sligo these are leveling their season and maybe these can see a peak in tier game and in the stands, very well kudos for the Pats winning over troubled Harps.
Still we have quite a ways to go for the LOI to end and if the Hoops continue with this positive streak, there’s no doubt that they can be called the champions of this shortened season in its end and seize an important European spot.
Back in Inchicore the local Pats continue their surge under manager Stephen O’ Donnell and got a valuable three points by defeating a troubled Ollie Horgan Harps, again looking like relegation candidates.
With George Kelly scoring a brace in the 14’ and 28’ all goals scored in the first half, and for keeper Brendan Clarke defensive gem earned him a valuable clean sheet in the end.

Back in Dalymont the local Bohs delivered another loss to the defending champions Dundalk seeing a slump since the league start, something tells me that manager Perth is starting to become worried.
With the Bohs scores from Daniel Grant 7’ and Keith Buckley 15’, the Gypsies sealed their win in the first half, despite the rally from the Lilywhites that fell short with a lone goal from Michael Duffy 42’.

In Waterford’s Regional Sports Centre, the local Blues and Rebel Army of Cork City shared spoils in the end and with a scoreless game.

In the Showgrounds of Sligo, the local Rovers got a valuable win at home over Shelbourne, as manager Liam Buckley is starting to see his side finally playing a decent ball and aim for the top three spots.
Immediately the game started the Rovers went up the scoreboard with a goal from Jesse Devers in the 1’ and later David Cawley scoring the cushion goal in the 51’, Shels Gary Deegan scored in the 90’.

In Brandywell the local Candystripes became a tough foe for the Shamrock Rovers after going up the score with a goal from Walter Figueira in the 36’ minute, unfortunately the second half became disastrous for the home side.
As Derry City defender Colm Horgan Own Goal in the 78’ and later to seal the deal Hoops Roberto Lopes became the game hero with a late goal in the 82’ for the Dubliners winning streak.
