Harry Wood was full of trickery and opened the scoring on his full debut for Shelbourne.
HARRY WOOD MADE his case to nail down a starting place in Damien Duff’s line-up as he scored on his Shelbourne full debut.
That moves Shels a point behind fifth-placed Dundalk, while Cork City remain cut adrift in the relegation play-off spot. They’re now six points behind Drogheda United and seven off Sligo Rovers. With their top-scorer given all the time he needs away from football, Liam Buckley picked Tunde Owolabi as the lone frontman. New signing Jaze Kabia was named on the bench but was called for at half-time after a lifeless first half. Not that the second was any better.Their hopes suffered an early blow when their best creative presence Joe O’Brien-Whitmarsh exited injured in the 12th minute.
The Altrincham loanee had an assured start between the sticks, cutting out a dangerous ball in behind from Evan Caffrey and holding onto a Wood strike. From there, Shels maintained total control, giving up no chances, while the few they created were easily blocked by City defenders. Kearns was first called into action in the 59th minute, punching away Cian Bargary’s dangerous cross before watching Kevin Čustović’s follow-up effort sail over.
