Hyn Brennans help Mons close the gap on Shels

THE Brennan brothers each scored last night at Tolka Park as Monaghan United closed the gap to just four points on Shelbourne at the First Division summit.

Goals from Sean and Ryan, either side of a Philip Hughes equaliser, significantly boosted second-placed United’s promotion prospects as they have a game more than Shelbourne’s four left in the campaign.

Mons edged ahead during an uneventful first half in contentious circumstances.
