Rovers boss Stephen Bradley said his players needed to start with intent and purpose if they were to set a marker down for reclaiming the title that Shelbourne took from them in 2024. It was a miserable year for Bohs and this victory should provide impetus for them to build momentum. Roberto Lopes was there to cover the danger, but he would be unable to stop the flying winger later in the half when Bohs took the lead on 25 minutes. The game had sparked into life moments before the breakthrough when an inspired piece of skill and quick-thinking from Graham Burke down the Rovers right left John Mountney stranded.
Parsons opened his body and aimed for the far corner. The onrushing Ed McGinty made a superb save but it only served to deflect the ball onto the post, bouncing kindly for Tierney who had shown instinct as well as ambition to support the attack. Their only concern here was rediscovering the early composure that was evident before falling behind. A lose Lopes clipped ball was headed by Devoy into Dayle Rooney’s path five minutes before half time and only for the anticipation of McGinty it would have been 2-0.
