This was a stirring night in Tallaght, almost 7,500 fans - the away section sold out - witnessing a rampant Hoops performance, putting to bed doubts that their busy schedule had opened a door for Derry, who fell short at home to Shelbourne and now must climb a mountain.

Truly the Hoops illustrated why they are champions by overcoming a terrible start to beat Saint Patrick's on what will likely prove the deciding night in the title race - such as it was.
