Sheriff stun Shels

NON-LEAGUE Sheriff provided the shock of the round, giving runaway First Division leaders Shelbourne a two goal start before dumping them out of the cup in this thriller at Tolka Park.

Conan Byrne put some substance to Shelbourne’s early pressure with the lead goal on 14 minutes, side-footing home Chris Mulhall’s pacy cross.

Shelbourne then all too easily doubled their lead six minutes before the break. Fitzgerald galloped forward, got the return from Philly Hughes’ back flick to shoot past Sheriff skipper Lee Murphy.
