Mark Farren moves in to challenge Jamie Harris of St Pat's

Derry City pulled off a great win away to leaders St Pat's Athletic to take over at the top of the Premier Division in the Eircom League.

Midfielder Owen Morrison capitalised on an error by St Pat's Athletic keeper Brendan Clarke to score the 65th-minute winner at Richmond Park.

Clarke's poor clearance came to Morrison who kept his head to find the net from 30 yards out.

Before that, City keeper Gerard Doherty pulled off a fine save from Keith Fahy.

In the first half, unchanged Derry went close as Clarke pulled off a fine reaction save to deny Derry's Clive Delaney.

Then for St Pat's Jamie Harris headed wide from a Fahy cross.

Near the end St Pat's threatened an equaliser when Mark Quigley crossed from the left but Fahy was again denied by Doherty at the far post.

Derry, in third spot overnight, are the new leaders as second-placed Shamrock Rovers fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Bohemians.

Glen Crowe scored the Bohs goal early in the second half at Tolka Park.

Eamon Zayed scored the winner as champions Drogheda beat Galway 1-0 while a Dave Mooney penalty was enough to give Cork City a home success over UCD.

Bray Wanderers' first goal of the campaign gave them victory over Finn Harps.
