The FAI SSE Airtricity League of Ireland Premier Division just completed series 6 of the 2023 season on St. Patrick’s Day. Bohemian FC lead the Table on 15 points, three ahead of Derry City FC on 12 points in second place with Dundalk FC in third on 11 points. Shamrock Rovers and St. Patrick’s Athletic FC were left struggling on 5 points in second and third last place after a 2-2 draw at Tallaght Stadium on St. Patrick’s Day.

Series 16 (19 May 2023)

Derry City moved back to the top of the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland Premier Division after a 4-1 defeat of UCD AFC at the Brandywell as Shamrock Rovers suffered a shock 1-2 loss at home to Drogheda United FC. In other matches Dundalk FC and Bohemian FC drew 2-2 in a game both needed to win if they were to make up ground on the leaders. St. Patrick’s Athletic joined Dundalk on 26 points after leap-frogging Shelbourne FC with a 1-0 victory at Tolka Park. Shelbourne dropped back to sixth place with the loss. Sligo Rovers FC lost 1-0 at Cork City, helping Cork City to move six points clear of UCD AFC at the foot of the table. [References: 1-2]

Series 18 (26-27 May 2023)

Derry City missed out on the chance to stretch their lead at the top of the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division after losing 1-0 at Sligo Rovers in a North-West derby. Nearest challengers Shamrock Rovers FC lost 1-0 at struggling Cork City FC the previous night. Moving to three points behind the Hoops were fierce rivals Bohemians as the Red and Black drew 0-0 with near neighbours Shelbourne in the Dublin Northside derby. St. Patrick’s Athletic, the South City rivals to both Rovers and Bohs defeated Dundalk FC 2-1 at Richmond Park in Inchicore to move clear of Dundalk into fourth place on 29 points, just one behind Bohs. Meanwhile in County Louth, Drogheda United defeated UCD AFC 3-1 in a relegation six-pointer, with the loss meaning the students were further adrift at the bottom as both Drogheda and Cork won.
