Shine puts Dublin boys in seventh heaven

EVAN Shine was the hero with a late winner for the Dublin District Soccer League, who clinched their seventh successive SFAI Umbro Kennedy Cup crown at Limerick University yesterday in the final against South Dublin.

The champions started well with Shine’s shot hitting the crossbar but they were rocked on 15 minutes when Lee Higgins put South Dublin ahead.

SDFL goalkeeper Conor Mackey saved from Jack Byrne and Shine as DDSL ended the half on the offensive but it wasn’t until the second half that they levelled with a well-worked free-kick.
