Shelbourne go five points clear at the top of the Premier Division while Shamrock Rovers pick up their first win of the season in Galway

Ronan Boyce grabbed one back for an insipid Derry but it proved too little, too late as The Auld Triangle rang around the ground where 4,256 were in attendance.

There are many miles to travel but Shamrock Rovers appear to have woken up, with Johnny Kenny scoring a late winner for the champions in Galway.The way Derry press defenders forced Bohs’ new loan signing Jevon Mills to go long. The English born, Irish under-19 international identified Dylan Connolly as his moving target. Connolly’s touch created an early goal chance but Filip Piszczek got no power behind the cross and Maher gathered with ease.

Clearly dazed, Byrne was unable to continue, so American underage centre-half Aboubacar Keita and Mills, two loanees from Colorado and Hull respectively, were tasked with holding the line. Keita looks the part with his late interventions securing the win. At half-time, the visiting supporters reignited the League of Ireland’s flare problem with a mini-fireworks display that could land Derry in trouble. Bohs fans were banned from the recent trip to Drogheda for throwing flammables onto the pitch at Richmond Park.
