Shelbourne-Fc,Shamrock-Rovers

Shels’ lead at the top of the table had been cut to three points with Rovers and Derry City sharpening their blades beneath them

Shels’ lead has been cut to three points, with Rovers and Derry City sharpening the blade, as both sit on 19 points in second and third.

That focused Shelbourne minds, on and off the pitch. 4,628 showed up on a Monday evening as a who’s-who of rival managers were visible in the VIP section, alongside FAI director of football Marc Canham and interim chief executive David Courell. There were no goals in the opening 45 minutes but plenty of activity as Tolka’s sandy, heavy-surface was unable to stop Pico Lopes slamming a header off Conor Kearns’ crossbar.
