Courageous City’s advance stymied as Shels salvage point
They remain five points ahead of City, who stretched their unbeaten record to 11 games, but even with a game in hand, Shels will know the Leesiders are breathing down their necks.
This was an excellent game. Both sides came wanting to play football, and it showed. Those who bothered to make the trip to Tolka were rewarded with a match where the ball spent more time on the ground than in the air not always a common occurrence in the Eircom league.
