GYPSIES CAN LUKE AHEAD
BOHEMIANS…………………………………………….. 4
FIRHOUSE CLOVER…………………………………… 1

LUKE SYNNOTT gave Bohemians a scare but the Gypsies eventually took care of business at Dalymount Park.
The Firhouse Clover striker – who is a huge Bohs fan – netted a penalty on 43 minutes to cancel out Jason Byrne’s opener and leave the sides level at the break.
But two Robbie Creevy goals in six second-half minutes got the Gypsies out of jail and back on Easy Street.
Creevy netted his first after some brilliant link-up play with James O’Brien allowed him to finish in the bottom corner.
The midfielder doubled his account on the hour when he poked home a Roberto Lopes cross.
Kealan Dillon added a fourth on 80 minutes to round off the win for Keith Long’s side.
