Dundalk moved ten points clear of the chasing pack after a ruthless display of attacking football saw them run out 4-1 winners against St Patrick’s Athletic at Oriel Park on Monday night.
Dundalk tightened their grip on the runners-up spot as Richie Towell and Patrick Hoban both scored contenders for the goal of the season as the Lilywhites brought their home campaign to an end with a 4-0 win over Cork City on Friday night.
Goalkeeper Fergal Sheeky was the hero for Dundalk Youths as his save from Pierce Hughes secured the young Lilywhites a 7-6 penalty shootout victory over Malahide United in the opening game of their Ferrari Cup defence at Oriel Park on Sunday morning.
