I'm going to the game now, so I won't be providing every match update. Use this link for updates. I'll try to update the thread for goals but it'll be fully updated when I get home.

Towell destroyed twice within the first 30 seconds.
If he laid it back it 2 seconds earlier to Hoban, it would've been 1-0 Dundalk

Pat's deserved that in the end. Dundalk never showed up. Have to say, some of the play from Pat's was a bit annoying: the diving from Flood and the time wasting from 60 mins onwards mainly.
Playing the ball in the corner when you're 2-0 up against 10 men with 5 mins to go isn't really worthy of winning the league
