Cassidy strikes winner to fire Shelbourne back top

Shelbourne 1 Finn Harps 0

Alan Matthews’ side made hard work of Harps and only a David Cassidy finish on 49 minutes separated the sides and sent Shels ahead of Cork and Monaghan in the table.

Harps were the better side in the opening half, with Marc Brolly threatening on numerous occasions and were unlucky not to lead at the break after Packie Mailey’s headed goal from Gareth Harkin’s cross was ruled out for a push on goalkeeper Dean Delaney on 43 minutes.
