We could muster but nine players in fact, but the nine gave their all playing superbly against the odds. We were a goal in arrears at the interval. The Dines stuck again but Craig Reale gave us hope with a fine headed goal. The home side added two further goals but certainly were given a good run for their money.

We took the lead, Russell Hoban, heading home from an Alan Gill corner. The visitors hit back and were 2-1 at the break. Alan Gill levelled eight minutes after the restart with substitute, Damien Keogh regaining the lead following a mazy run up the left. He finished with a fine angled drive. Back came Shells but we got our noses in front yet again as Joachim Clohessy’s tantalising through ball created an opportunity for Russell Hoban and the latter netted with the bravest of headers. The visitors weren’t done and came back to tie the scores at four apiece. It was a game we ought to have won but having said that Shelbourne could have won it at the death as they hit the woodwork.
