Pre-season

When the 2009 season finished, St Pats underwent a revamp. Most of the squad from the 2009 season was let go, only 5 players from 2009 were kept for 2010.

On 9 December Pete Mahon was appointed manager after successfully leading the Saints out of relegation trouble last season.[1] Pete Mahon signed 13 players during pre-season, creating a good deal of excitement amongst the fans.

The team spent a weekend in Wexford where they defeated Wexford Youths 3–0. Up next were 2 home friendlies against Longford Town F.C., 3–1 and Limerick F.C., 1–1. These were followed by 2 away matches against Waterford United F.C., 0–0 and Bray Wanderers F.C., 1–3.

Team kit

On 15 January it was announced that St Pats secured a kit deal with Umbro to add 4 years onto the deal already in place.[2] Nissan were announced as the new main sponsors of the club after the deal with Paddy Power ran out. A new home and away jersey were issued for the 2010 season.
