Bohemians 1 St Patrick's Athletic 1:St Patrick's Athletic kept their noses in front at the head of the Airtricity League Premier Division standings after earning a point at Dalymount Park tonight.

Pete Mahon’s side went ahead on 18 minutes when Vinny Faherty curled the ball low and beyond Chris O’Connor into the bottom corner.

But the home side levelled matters three minutes into the second half, ending St Pat’s perfect defensive record in the process, when Jason Byrne was picked out on the edge of the six yard box.

The striker squeezed his effort between a couple of defenders and under the desperate dive of Gary Rogers.
