HITTING RIGHT NOTES

Kirk calling tune for rampant Bohemians

- PAUL O'HEHIR

PADDY KIRK is a head turner on the piano and a dab hand at photography.

But right now the left-back is saving his best work for league leaders Bohemians, hitting all the right notes and capturing moments to savour.

His goal at Weavers Park on Friday set the Gypsies on the way to a 2-0 win over Drogheda United that stretched their lead at the top of the table to five points.

It was Kirk's second goal of the season having returned to the club following spells with Longford Town and then Sligo Rovers.

Kirk, 24, first joined Bohs as a 16-year-old and spent five years at Dalymount Park before seeking regular first team football.

Longford was his first port of call before a run of Premier Division games with the Bit O'Red - and he feels he's a better player coming home to his first love.

Kirk said: "The time was right to go out and play games. I've an affiliation with this club and it was always my goal to get back eventually.
