O’Flynn takes aim at Shels unbeaten run in Cross shootout

THE head-to-head contest between the two leading goal-scorers in the Eircom National League, John O’Flynn and Jason Byrne, is just one of the several side issues that add to the attraction of the Cork City v Shelbourne game at Turner’s Cross tonight (7.45 pm ko).

O'Flynn leads the way with eight goals in seven matches in the League and Byrne is just one step behind him.

Shelbourne will be defending the only unbeaten record in the League when they play Cork. They have won four of their seven matches and they boast the best goal-scoring record with 15. Their total of goals conceded at seven is bettered only by Cork City, with six, and Shamrock Rovers, with five.
