Eoin Doyle scored the first goal for St Patrick’s in the 50th minute, then Eoin Doyle added another in the 72nd minute from the penalty spot.

Matthew Smith scored the first goal for Derry City in the 33rd minute, but Dean Williams got the equalizer for Drogheda United in the 77th minute squeezing out at least the one point for Drogheda United.

In their last match together, Derry City was victorious by a score of 7 to 1. William Patching scored the first goal for Derry City in the 13th minute, then McGonigle added another in the 21st minute.
Derry City is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, James Akintunde and Jamie McGonigle each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Liam Kerrigan and D. Duffy 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.
