Byrne back to haunt Shelbourne

Bohemians 0 Shelbourne 1

This result saw Pat Fenlon’s side leap above the champions, the fourth time there has been a change of leadership in the past 10 days.

Shelbourne had the best of the first half, as Bohs struggled to get to grips with their five-man midfield, and survived a second half of concerted Bohs pressure, with Steve Williams, Owen Heary and Jamie Harris all emerging as heroes. This was the Tolka side’s first victory in four attempts over their most bitter, and evenly-matched rivals.
