St Patrick's Athletic ran out comfortable 3-0 winners over Bray Wanderers in front of 1,146 people at Richmond Park this evening.
It took a while for the home side to get into their stride before Bray goalkeeper Evan Moran made a fine save to deny Michael Leahy in the 25th minute. Seven minutes later, the deadlock was broken when Ryan Brennan received the ball outside the box before cooly dinking it into the top right corner of Moran's net.
Pats survived a couple of scares towards the end of the first half, most notably when Jake Kelly's header smashed against the bar. Ten minutes into the second half, Pats doubled their lead when Ian Turner swept home from a Conan Byrne cross.
Byrne himself went close before Bray's Gary McCabe was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 65th minute. Three minutes from time, substitute, Graham Kelly made sealed a 3-0 win after nodding home from another Byrne cross.
It's now two wins out the last three Premier Division game for Pats. Next up , a trip to Cork City while bottom side Bray entertain Dundalk.
