Kenneth Fox

Bohemians were the only side to take three points on the opening night of the SSE Airtricity Premier Division season.

Goals from Grant Horton and Jordan Flores helped them to a 2-1 win at Cork City.

Eoin Doyle’s late equaliser for St. Pat’s saw them salvage a 1-1 draw from their meeting with Derry City.

Pat Hoban had a first-half penalty saved as Dundalk were held to a 1-1 draw by UCD.

And it finished goalless at Tolka Park where Shelbourne were playing Drogheda.

Get in!! 2-1 win in Cork.

Home tickets still remain for the Des Kelly stand for next Fridays first home game v Dundalk 🔴⚫️
