ST.PATRICK'S ATHLETIC 1 TRALEE DYNAMOS 0

Adam Doyle in the 38th minute scored for St. Pat's after a defensive mix up to give all 3 points to the saints. U.C.D. go top the table after their 4-0 win in Limerick. Galway United claimed their first points of the season with a 2-1 win over F.C. Carlow.

Dynamos had the ball in the St. Pat's net on 24 minutes through good link up play from Jeffrey Roche who passed to Eddie Duggan who found Chris Kerins who's pinpoint pass found James Sugrue who rifled to the net only for the assistant referee to flag for an marginal off side. 

Chris Kerins went closest for Dynamos in the 40th minutes with a scorching free kick from 25 yards out that clipped the top of the cross bar. Dynamos settled well into the game and forced 3 corners in the first 10 minutes to no avail. Eoin Cassidy & Adrian Quirke dealt well with everything St. Patrick's Athletic threw at them in the first half with Derek O'Shea comfortable through out.

Uros Ivkovic made his senior debut in the 60th minute and within seconds got on the ball passing inch perfect for Eddie Duggan who shot on goal was blocked by the defender. Adam Piggott also made his debut in the 66th minute and was a constant threat throughout linking up well with James Sugrue on numerous occassions and only for good goalkeeping by the Pat's keeper.

Derek O'Shea & Adrian Quirke did well in the 70th minute both clearing off the goal line after poor defending on the right. At hard as Dynamos tried piling on the pressure in the closing minutes St. Pat's stood strong closing out the game and collecting their first points of the season after an opening day loss to F.C. Carlow.

Next Sunday Dynamos welcome Galway United to Cahermoneen for the first time and will be anxious to get a few points on the board before the break.
