Classy Twigg keeps Rovers flying high

Shamrock Rovers maintained their unbeaten start to the Airtricity League Premier Division campaign with Gary Twigg’s fifth goal of the season and an injury-time second from Billy Dennehy helping the champions grind out victory at Tallaght Stadium last night.

The visitors, who picked up their first point of the campaign against St Patrick’s Athletic last Sunday, were understandably cautious in the early exchanges, with Danny Joyce protecting his back four in a five-man midfield.

After an uneventful opening, Bohemians were pierced wide open in the 13th minute from Ronan Finn’s driving run, with Twigg shooting wastefully at the legs of Andy McNulty from eight yards.
