St Pats ran out comfortable winners at Hunky Dorys Park as four second half goals saw them take the points and continue their push for honours.
Efforts from Daryl Kavanagh, Anto Murphy, Derek Doyle and a finisher from Ian Daly were more than enough to see them past Drogheda who had equalised earlier through Dinny Corcoran.
