Shannon win low-scoring encounter

Shannon 3 Cork Constitution 0

Shannon moved top of the AIB League Division One table by outlasting their Munster rivals Cork Constitution at a sodden Coonagh.

Previous leaders Con lost for the first time this season thanks to an early penalty kick from Shannon veteran Andrew Thompson.

Thompson’s kick saw Shannon turn around at half-time with a 3-0 buffer, after they had the better of the atrocious weather conditions.

Con mounted a concerted comeback late on and pounded away at the Shannon line in injury-time but Shannon’s defence was resolute.

Scorers: Shannon: Pen: Andrew Thompson

Cork Constitution: None.
