Result: Saints 4 - Wexford 1

Conan Byrne proved himself the scourge of Wexford Youths again as he scored twice in St Patrick's Athletic's 4-1 SSE Airtricity League Premier Division clash at Richmond Park.

It's the second time that Byrne has bagged a brace against Wexford, having done the same when they met in Inchicore in April.

Showing no signs of their FAI Cup disappointment when losing their semi-final to Cork City last Sunday, Pat's started brightly and creating a host of chances before deservedly taking the lead on 20 minutes as they cruised into a 3-0 half-time lead.

A fifth defeat in six games means Youths now slip eight points behind Finn Harps in the relegation play-off place.
