Result: Saints 3 - Sligo 0
A double from defender Luke Turner might have kick-started Saint Patrick's Athletic's season, even if he were upstaged late on by the teenage sensation Mason Melia.
Turner's first-half double eased the tension in Dublin 8 and Rovers' boss John Russell had humanitarian concerns that trumped this defeat as Nando Pijnaker was carried off the pitch after a horrible clash with his own goalkeeper.
Melia's stunning strike will have Pat's fans especially happy going home this evening, even if they accept he will not be playing in Dublin for too long. Moreover, this looked more like what pre-season expectations were off the home side.
