The SSE Airtricity League of Ireland season was back with a bang this weekend.
Over 14,400 fans attended the five games, with Champions Cork City, Bohemians, newly promoted Waterford and Limerick the big winners on the opening weekend while Bray got a good point at Dundalk.
City beat St Pat’s 3-2 at Richmond Park while Bohs came from 1-0 down to win 3-1 against bitter rivals Shamrock Rovers at a packed Dalymount Park.
