A late Bohemians siege on the St. Patrick’s Athletic box just about paid off as the visitors raced back from two goals behind to clinch a 2-2 draw at Richmond Park. Saints went ahead on three minutes through Jake Keegan as he made light work of a Dean Clarke cross from the left to prod beyond Shane Supple, and the hosts went on to enjoy the better of the first half. Just three minutes into the second, it was that man Keegan again who beat Supple, though this time he knew little about it. A corner landed on the head of Kevin Toner who knocked the ball towards goal, where it hit off the striker and found its way into the net. The hosts went down to ten as Ryan Brennan was shown red for a second bookable offence, having been deemed to have dived in the box and, from then, Bohs looked determined. Saints stood firm for the most part and it was only through a touch of fortune that the visitors pulled one back. The ball somehow found its way under Barry Murphy and allowed Dinny Corcoran to tap in from under the crossbar. Keith Long’s side took control from there and Eoghan Stokes should have equalised in stoppage time. They did eventually get their goal in the dying seconds as the ball found its way into the goal through a scrambled six-yard box
