Sligo Rovers lost a seven-goal thriller to St Patrick's Athletic in Friday night's eventful SSE Airtricity Premier Division game at Inchicore.
Former Sligo Rovers striker Aidan Keena scored twice for Pats - while Rovers attacker Cian Kavanagh did likewise against his former club, St Pat's.
Kavanagh could have had a hat-trick - but his second-half penalty was saved by Pat's keeper Joseph Anang.

The result means Rovers have lost their opening three games of the season and are bottom of the table - but the manner of their second-half display will give some cause for encouragement.
