Result: Saints 1 - Derry 0

Four became two in this title race for the ages but St Patrick's Athletic maintained their incredible winning run in Inchicore and are now in great shape to make European football again next season.

Brandon Kavanagh's blast a minute before the interval decided a game that will reign long in the memory ??" even if it will have no bearing, ultimately, on the title race, with Shelbourne doing the needful at home to Drogheda.

Now, only Shels or Shamrock Rovers can prevail at the summit ??" but it was not for the want of endeavour by the Camac.

Indeed, so impressive were Stephen Kenny's men in UEFA Conference League qualification combat this year, that platform is where they belong ??" but Derry can still ensure the same in 2025 by winning the FAI Cup.

Probability, permutations and prose were difficult to juggle as this frantic game was full of everything that makes the League of Ireland so special at the moment.
