Waterford – St Patrick's Athl.

Waterford held St Patrick’s Athletic to a 1‑1 draw at home, a result that leaves the Waterford side perched in eighth place with 33 points from 30 games (seven wins, 12 draws and 11 losses, scoring 40 and conceding 49). St Patrick’s remain second in the table, their 53 points coming from 15 victories, eight draws and seven defeats, and a healthy +22 goal difference (47 scored, 25 conceded). The stalemate narrows the gap between the two clubs, who have already met three times this campaign with St Patrick’s winning two of those encounters and the third ending in a draw. Both sides will now look to build on the point – Waterford to climb out of the lower mid‑table and St Patrick’s to maintain pressure on the leaders.
