It’s Shelbourne’s title to win or lose
Level on points with Derry City, Shels’ superior goal difference of seven means that, barring a mathematical improbability, a win in the Dublin derby tonight will be enough to land the Tolka Park side their third title in four years.
Of course, any slip-up by Pat Fenlon’s men against Bohs and Derry could capitalise against Cork City who, despite having to relinquish their league crown, have everything to play for in terms of UEFA Cup qualification.
