Shels and Rovers hope to put the squeeze on Bohs

BOHEMIANS will begin to feel the heat of competition for the first time in this season’s Eircom League if Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers succeed in winning the two Dublin derby games tonight.

Shels welcome back their big centre-back Jim Gannon for their game against St Patrick's Athletic at Tolka Park (7.45pm) while Shamrocks will be able to call upon their centre-forward hot-shot Tony Grant for their game against UCD at Richmond Park (7.45pm).

Derry City felt the full brunt of Shelbourne's anger at their loss to Cork City last week when they went under 0-2 to Shels on Monday. The Dubliners are still smarting over their defeat in Cork for they are convinced the penalty that provided Cork with a winning goal should not have been awarded.
