St Patrick's Athl. – Galway United

St Patrick’s Athletic cemented their push for the title with a comfortable 3‑0 home victory over Galway United, taking the points to 53 and solidifying second place in the league. Galway, now seventh with 34 points, remain well off the leaders after a disappointing showing that left them with a goal‑difference of –7. The win also extended St Patrick’s dominance in the season’s head‑to‑head, having already taken both previous encounters while the only draw came earlier in the campaign. With 15 wins from 30 matches, the home side’s 47‑25 goal tally underlines their attacking edge, whereas Galway’s 38‑45 record highlights the defensive frailties that the defeat exposed.
