Shamrock Rovers got back to winning ways with a 2-0 win away to St Patrick’s Athletic.

Sean Kavanagh made sure of the points with a free-kick five minutes after the re-start.
Still, with Dundalk eight points clear they can’t let them out of sight on the domestic front.

Romeo Parkes was also on target for the home side.
