FINAL SCORE
Below is a table showing the range of scorelines that have occurred so far in the Premier Division and the number of times they have happened:
GOALSCORERS
There have been 83 goals scored at an average of 2.08 goals per game, netted by 47 different players.
Gary Twigg, with two goals from a combined distance of a yard, bagged the first hat-trick of the season to jump ahead of Bohemians' Jason Byrne. Byrne has scored in 3 of the champions' games so far, while Twigg has found the target in 4 different games.
APPEARANCES
While we have been concentrating on Tadgh Purcell's consistent introduction off the bench - he continued this run against Galway Utd on Friday night - this week we name those players who have seen their number held aloft by the fourth official on most occasions.
Bray's John Flood, Cian McBrien of Galway, and Sligo's Owen Morrison have all been called ashore on 6 occasions, closely followed by Liam Kearney, Jake Kelly, Sean Doherty, and Dessie Baker on 5 apiece.
24 players remain on the ever-present list as Derry City's Gerard Doherty missed his first game of the season at the Carlisle Grounds. The full list of players left from this group is below:
Brian Murphy (Bohemians)
Paul Keegan
Jason McGuinness
