Evan Caffrey was the hero for Shels at Richmond Park.
And there was even a dramatic injury-time winner for Shelbourne, which kept the Reds clear at the top regardless of the outcome at Tallaght Stadium.
A flare was thrown onto the pitch from the Shels end, as the visiting fans celebrated with their players. What an end to a night that promised fireworks. Throw in the presence of Brian Kerr, a one-time friend and mentor to Kenny but now persona non grata when it comes to cups of tea and coffee, and this one was threatening to boil over before kick-off.
Mulraney’s reward for his efforts was a goal for the ages, but his quality deliveries from the left deserved better by those in the centre. But Shels were soon back on the attack and were ahead with less than a quarter-of-an-hour on the clock.
