▪ St. Pat's Win Third Straight

St. Patrick's Athletic defeated Bray Wanderers 3-0 on Friday night to keep their 100% record at the top of the table.

American forward Ryan Guy was a late sub for the third straight game despite scoring twice in the opener.

Stephen Paisley put the visitors up 1-0 in the 24th minute on a header off of Keith Fahey's corner.

The Pat's went ahead by two in the 63rd minute thanks to Mark Quigley. Fahey's cross-field pass found Gary O'Neill, who set up Quigley's side-footed shot from 10 yards out that found the back of the net.

The Saints wanted more, though, and struck again in the first minute of stoppage time. Glen Fitzpatrick got the ball to Alan Kirby, whose deep ball found Quigley. The striker put it in the goal with a close range header for his FAI League-best fifth goal of the season.

The Pat's remain at the top of the table and host second place Derry City on April 4th.
