Full-time – St Patrick’s Athletic 4 Cork City
‘Final whistle here at Richmond Park, a 4-0 win for St Pat’s over a very poor Cork City side but this game was over after 18 minutes when Pat’s had that 2-0 lead. Mason Melia, who turned 18 today, was the headline maker with his two goals but he really should have scored four, before Stephen Kenny took him off for a rest.
‘Hard to see any positives for a sorry Cork outfit who could be officially relegated on Friday if they lose to Galway United and other results go against them. The four goals scored could be huge for Pat’s if the European places are settled by goal difference as they could – and should – have scored more.’
