Damien Duff’s side maintained top spot with a hard-fought victory.
Paul Fennessy reports from Dalymount Park Bohemians 0 Shelbourne 2 A WILL JARVIS penalty and a Gavin Molloy header in the final 10 minutes proved decisive as Shelbourne ground out a 2-0 win over Bohemians in a game where chances were few and far between.
There were four alterations to Declan Devine’s team following the loss in Drogheda earlier this week. By the half-hour mark, neither goalkeeper had been seriously tested with the well-organised visitors looking increasingly comfortable and easily dealing with the rare attacks that came their way. Yet for the most part, it remained cagey, with Duff introducing Sean Boyd — back from suspension — just after the hour mark in the hopes of finding a winner.
