Result: Drogs 0 - Saints 4

St Patrick's Athletic roared back from their defeat to Derry last week with a comprehensive four-goal victory of their own at Drogheda United.

Tim Clancy's side put on a show on his return to the club where he had spent the last four seasons, winning promotion to the Premier Division in the process.

Two goals in each half - with Darragh Burns and Eoin Doyle netting before half-time and Billy King and Kyle Robinson scoring in the second, a first Premier Division goal for Kyle, on his debut, with his first touch - ensured Clancy ended the evening much happier than his old friend Kevin Doherty, who has seen his side lose three on the spin after a fine unbeaten run.

16-year-old Sam Curtis - a first team debutant at just 15 last season - was handed his first start for the club, becoming the youngest player to start a league game in the modern era.

The win moved St Pat's back to third in the table, ahead of their trip to Derry City on Monday evening.
