For the Shamrock Rovers win over the weekend in the Showgrounds
over a troubled Bit O’ Red not seeing clearly for its manager getting into relegation
problems, for the Lilywhites, win in Ballybofey and the Bohs winning on the
Dublin Derby.
In RSC the Blues are back in the positive with a valuable
win over Derry as the Pats are in the positive too with a clean sheet triumph
over Cork City bringing relegation worries to its manager Neale Fenn.
So far, in the overall table, the Shamrock Rovers lead the
pack with fifteen points followed closely by the defending champions Dundalk
with twelve points and up-close Bohemians with nine after their weekend win.
Let me start with a match scheduled in Finn Park in Donnegal
County where the local Blue and White Army of Ollie Horgan could stop the
offensive mayhem the Town side brought to Ballybofey colossus.
With a brace from the Lilywhites top scorer Patrick Hoban
delivering a brace and opening the scoreboard in the 3’ and 51’, adding scores
from Michael Duffy 31’ and Greg Sloggett 82’.
Finn Harps 0-4 Dundalk
In Phibsborough pride Dalymont Park the local Bohs raise
to the occasion and keep tabs with league leader Hoops and Lilywhites with a
valuable win over the recently promoted Shels in the Dublin Derby.
With another clean sheet in this week activity in the League
of Ireland, the Gypsies scores came from Andre Wright 53’ and Daniel Mandriou 62’
both scores coming in the second half for the locals win.
Bohemians 2-0 Shelbourne
In the RSC for Alan Reynolds and his Blues opportune win
lifts this side momentum, after an early Candystripes goal in the 32’ by Stephen
Mallon to see Waterford rally back for the win.
AS Sam Bone leveled the score in the 44’ and both sides
going at halftime with the score tied at one goal, later it was the heroics of Waterford
Shane Griffin scoring the game-winner in the 90’.
Waterford 2-1 Derry City
in the West side of Dublin Town in Inchicore the local Pats
got three valuable points out of a decimated Cork City seeing its troubles
mount for manager Neale Fenn looking for salvation.
Still the local Pats with alone score and raising to the
occasion the side of manager Stephen O’ Donnell got a win that uplifts his side
to the fourth spot with a lone score by Billy King 56‘.
Saint Patrick’s Athletic 1-0 Cork City
In the Showgrounds the local Rovers are starting to
become worrisome as well for manager Liam Buckley not leveling this side rocky
season with another loss and occupying the league cellar.
With a goal-fest, the Sligo side almost pulled the upset
over the Dublin Rovers with scores from Ronan Coughlan 41’ and Neil Morahan 90’
but the rally fell short a little late when the Hoops scoring via Jack Byrne 23’,
Aaron McEneff 76’ and Aaron Greene 81’ for the win.
Sligo Rovers 2-3 Shamrock Rovers
