Shels maintain title challenge with win

Derry City 0 Shelbourne 1

While the home side will seriously consider the thought of dropping into a relegation play-off, Pat Fenlon’s men did enough to win this tie, particularly in the first half.

In what proved a pulsating finish, Shelbourne defended doggedly to hold out against a wave of Derry City attacks, with centre halves Jim Gannon and Kevin Doherty outstanding.
