Thirty-six years ago, St Pat’s went to the RDS for the first Shamrock Rovers match at the venue. By Bohemians sacrificing home advantage to move across Dublin City to Lansdowne Road, they attracted 21,472 but will regret not giving them a goal their dominance deserved. It was a showcase match but also a fundraiser for when they've to leave matchday revenue at Dalymount Park behind from next year during a two-year rebuild. Connor Parson’s missed their best opening early in the second half, but Stephen Kenny’s Saints didn’t muster one attempt on target over the entire 95 minutes. Haring clear with the entire goal to hit, he could only hit Joseph Anang with the low shot.
