Soccer - Shamrock Rovers 1 St Patrick's Athletic 0:Gary Twigg was the hero of the hour once more for Shamrock Rovers after his winner against St Patrick's Athletic in this Dublin derby sent the Tallaght outfit back to the top of the table.

The sides couldn’t be separated as the game reached half-time scoreless. However the Rovers faithful didn’t have long to wait before celebrating a fine team effort and Twigg’s strike, which out turned out to be the winner.

The Rovers striker struck seven minutes into the second half and was a result of some neat inter-play. Twigg fired home from the edge of the area to give the Pat’s goalkeeper no chance.

Saints best opportunity came in the first half when Daryl Kavanagh's effort came off the woodwork.

The only downside for Rovers came when manager Michael O'Neill was dismissed in the second half.
