Shels ‘up for it’ going into round of Dublin derbies

SHELBOURNE head into a month of Dublin derbies tonight with manager Pat Fenlon believing capital pride is more important than ever.

Shels meet St Patrick’s Athletic at Tolka Park tonight (7.45pm) to kick off the first of four matches against fellow Dublin sides in May either side of a trip to fellow early pacesetters Cork City.

Shels started the campaign with wins over Waterford, Derry and Longford drawing at Drogheda last weekend to leave them level on points with the Leesiders, but lying in second on goal difference.
