Cork City have beaten Galway United 1-0 in their Friday evening League of Ireland clash at Turner's Cross.

Joshua Fitzpatrick scored the only goal of the game in the fifth minute of the match, claiming Cork's first win since April.

Elsewhere, Drogheda United have beaten Bohemians by 1-0.

Josh Thomas broke the 86-minute long dead lock and scored the game's only goal.

Despite Bohemian's having over 70 per cent possession, they could not convert any chances, and they failed to close the gap on Shamrock Rovers at the top of the table to four points.
