Bohemians pummel ten-man Finn Harps

Bohemians 3 Finn Harps 0

But of more immediate interest to the class of 2008 was that Bohs’ search for modern silverware, their first since the league title of 2003, took a step in the right direction with a comfortable victory against a 10-man Finn Harps.

Mark Rossiter, a key figure for the home side in the first half, looked on course to score one of the quickest goals of the season when, almost direct from the kick-off, his run took him deep into the Harps box where only an expertly-timed, last-ditch tackle by Stuart Malcolm prevented the Bohs man from getting his shot away.
