Week 21 brings us a match on Jun 24th, where Finn Harps hosts St Patrick’s at Finn Park in a Premier Division match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 9 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Finn Harps sits at 9th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-3 loss against Sligo Rovers. Aidan Keena struck first for Sligo Rovers in the 3rd minute, then Karl O’Sullivan added another in the 7th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Finn Harps couldn’t manage to score, and Sligo Rovers took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10, while 4th placed St Patrick’s is fresh off their 2-1 win against UCD. Eoin Doyle scored the first goal for St Patrick’s in the 50th minute, then Eoin Doyle added another in the 72nd minute on a penalty kick. With 17 points in their last 10 matches St Patrick’s should be reasonably happy with their performance.
Finn Harps and St Patrick’s last played eachother at the Richmond Park on Friday Apr 22nd. St Patrick’s was victorious by a score of 2 to 0. Eoin Doyle struck first for St Patrick’s in the 38th minute, then Eoin Doyle added another in the 57th minute on a penalty In the end, Finn Harps 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’s most prolific scorer has been Tunde Owolabi. The attacker has netted three goals over the last five matches. Conor Tourish and Eric McWoods are the top scorers for Finn Harps in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
