Lilywhites hold Shels in lacklustre affair

Dundalk, in eighth place, will accept their third goalless draw in six outings against fourth-placed Shelbourne in a game of few thrills and controlled largely by the visitors.

Each side had one clear cut chance to win all three points.

Shels’ chance fell to Conan Byrne in the 62nd minute. He was put clear by Billy Hughes but he pulled his shot wide, with only Peter Cherrie to beat.
