On Monday Mar 14th, St Patrick’s plays host to UCD in a meeting of these two mismatched Premier Division teams in the ever popular Dublin derby. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. In their last match, St Patrick’s recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Shamrock Rovers. Chris Forrester scored the first goal for St Patrick’s in the 54th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Shamrock Rovers was frustrated by St Patrick’s’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. St Patrick’s ended the match with the shutout victory. St Patrick’s is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, UCD recorded a 2-4 loss against Drogheda United. Gary Deegan struck first for Drogheda United in the 20th minute, then Chris Lyons added another in the 24th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season.
Kerrigan and Sam Todd are the top scorers for UCD in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Jason McClelland and Eoin Doyle are the top scorers for St Patrick’s in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
