IRISH STRIKER EOIN Doyle continued his remarkable goalscoring haul in League Two today.
The former Shamrock and Sligo Rovers attacker was on target for an 11th consecutive game, scoring a fifth-minute penalty as Swindon beat Cambridge United 4-0 to consolidate their lead at the top of the table.
The 31-year-old Dubliner — who is currently on at the club from League Two rivals Bradford — has now managed 22 goals in 24 appearances in all competitions this season
Another ex-League of Ireland star, Richie Towell, was also on target in League Two, as his impressive strike helped Salford beat Crewe 3-1 — ending a five-game winless run that left them 11th.
In League One, Ireland international Ronan Curtis was on target as Portsmouth beat Wycombe 2-0, which left Pompey eighth in the table.
The 23-year-old former Derry City player has now scored 10 goals in all competitions this season.
Ex-Cork City star Kieran Sadlier registered his eighth and ninth goals of the season, as Doncaster beat Peterborough 3-0 to go 14th.
Former Ireland U21 international Rob Kiernan helped Southend earn a point, scoring the final goal in his side’s 2-2 draw at home to MK Dons in a game that also another former Irish underage striker, Joe Mason, score for the visitors.
And finally, Paddy Madden scored for Fleetwood in their 3-2 victory over Rochdale.
Joey Barton’s side are currently just a point off the play-offs in seventh.

Going there and delivering a PB
You can do no more
Hard luck
A PB is as good as we can reasonably expect from any athlete.
Looks like the golden age of Coughlan, Treacey, O’Sullivan etc was a statistical abberation.
I’m still happy that we send our best even though most don’t have any prospect of a medal – its what the Olympics is all about.
(as well as:
promoting Big Mac meals which, I don’t care what anyone says, are delicious,
providing a battleground for drug users and drug user cathchers
nice arses on beach volley-ball players, in particular, but not exclusively, the women)
