Derry City...2St. Pat's Athletic...1By Arthur DuffyDerry City treated their fans to a Happy Easter with a third win on the spin at the Brandywell, however, St. Pat's will feel hard done by having failed to get the necessary breaks in front of goal. Derry grabbed the breakthrough they had hoped for in the 9th minute and that strike got the home crowd on its feet. Without any hesitation, the midfielder produced great technique to crash a dipping shot into the Pat's goal giving keeper, Barry Murphy, no chance. And that ploy worked well for Derry when the doubled their lead in the 74th minute. Derry City: Doherty; McDermott, Toal, Cole, Doyle; Ronan Hale, McEneff, Rory Hale, Curtis; Doherty (Hopkirk, 60); Patterson.
