Dennehy destroys hapless Galway

AS comfortable a win as was expected brought a difficult week to a satisfactory end for Shamrock Rovers as the champions maintained their three point lead at the top of the table in inflicting a 12th league defeat in succession on bottom side Galway.

Poles apart at either end of the table, further evidence of the respective clubs standing was evident in their line-ups.

Doubtless with Tuesday’s home clash with Dundalk in mind, Rovers rested four of the side that drew 1-1 with Derry last Monday. Such are Galway’s difficulties at the minute, their manager Sean Connor could name just four on his bench.
