Shelbourne 0-0 Shamrock Rovers @Tolka Park (22/4/24)
A goalless draw in Tolka Park secures both teams a point each, and both teams going home longing for more out of their upcoming Friday fixtures. The one point result means that we remain top of the league by 3 points, but still winless in our last 5 games. A good return after a miserable…

A bit of a short one today, not much to write about, a miserable 0-0 draw to Derry. Although we remain top of the table, there’s nothing to be happy about with our performance today. A bitter taste lingers in the mouth of Shelbourne fans with the performance today. At points you could tell that…
