The Pats back on track after a fortunate win over Finn Harps



To get your club back into contention, the Pats did it with a win and in a very comfortable and convincing way to close down on the top spots of the overall table. Moving near both, Derry City and the Shamrock Rovers these two tied at fourth place and moving the Pats within one point.

With a rare Tuesday night match scheduled of league play, the Cumann Peile Lúthchleas Phádraig Naofa or Saint Patrick’s Athletic were to face off against a the lads of the Cumann Peile Chláirsigh na Finne or Finn Harps FC.

As the Super Pats Manager Liam Buckley, so far his Boys have put an excellent and positive run in tis month of May considered as a superb, despite the loss against the Candystripes and a draw against the Town. Their beginnings of the week match prove to be much better as well fruitful with a raucous win over the Harps.

A 4-0 rout over the visiting Blues, left their man at the helm Ollie Horgan scratching his head in disbelief in how his side overwhelmed by an inspired Pats offensive and spectacular game seen all of the whole ninety minutes of play.

With an inspired Mike Timlin who redeemed with a couple of goals, one in the ninth minute to lift his side to the lead and on the 87th minute by putting the icing on the cake, scoring his second. Then followed by Conan Byrne on the 42nd and Billy Denehy on the 70th.

By sealing the deal on their home turf, back at the colossus located at Inchicore in Dublin Town, all of those followers of the St. Pats made of Richmond Stadium a madhouse to see the display of great football displayed by the Boys.

A perfect harmony seen by Liam Buckley Pats all afternoon long in how his initial eleven played in the best of harmonies, with an inspired striking force that put the game away early. Very well, to a stingy backfield that never let any of the Harps strikers have any liberties or display any dangerous moves within Brendan Clarke goalposts.

Despite the win, the Pats are to prepare for their next match in the FAI Cup going against modest first division Pike Rovers on the May 21. Their return to league action on May 29 at Dalymont Park to face the Bohemians and on June 3 back at to home to stage back to back editions of the contested and heated Dublin Derby.

For now, the Pats Boss Liam Buckley will prepare his squad to continue his quest in advancing in the FAI Cup and making an impacting campaign in the Airtricity League trying his best to finish atop the league spots and assuring them a European spot.

For the Harps Boss Horgan will be back to basics with his chaps and make the necessary moves in his initial eleven to prevent a meltdown as the one his Boys experienced on Tuesday at Richmond Park. His goals are to keep his side on the Irish Premiership and prevent a return to Irelands First Division League.

For Manager Ollie Horgan Harps fixtures are in the FAI Cup against Crumlin United and in league play in matches against the Shamrock Rover and Sligo Rovers.

At the end, this afternoon dominated by a roughened St. Patrick’s Athletic and its dynamic game all afternoon long that netted them a very valuable win and in reach of the top four spots in the Airtricity overall table.
