St Patrick's Athletic forward Aidan Keena has conceded his team need to win all their remaining games to catch Shamrock Rovers in the title race. The current champions sit six points clear at the summit of the Premier Division with 65 points from 33 matches.
Keena, who was named the SSE Airtricity Player of the Month, acknowledged the scale of the task facing his side. "It is likely St Patrick’s Athletic need maximum points on their run-in to dethrone champions Shamrock Rovers," he said.
Rovers extend lead with winning run
Shamrock Rovers have tightened their grip on top spot with three consecutive victories. Their latest win was a 2-1 triumph over Bohemians last Saturday, a result that extended their advantage. Their recent form reads three wins, one draw and one loss from the last five outings, a sequence you can review on our stats page.
Chase intensifies as rivals wait
St Patrick's Athletic, along with Bohemians, are positioned to capitalise on any slip from the leaders. Pats do hold a game in hand, but Keena's comments underline the pressure to be perfect in the final stretch of the season.
Shamrock Rovers aim to maintain their cushion when they travel to face Galway United this Friday, the 16th of October.
