Gorman strikes late for Shelbourne

Against the team he scored the bulk of his goals for over the seasons, Jason Byrne hit his 183rd league goal of his career for Bray Wanderers last night to go second in the all-time League of Ireland goalscoring charts.

But it was not enough to deny Shelbourne who took all three points. But he wasted a chance to extend that further — and possibly earn Bray a point — when missing a penalty as Philip Gorman scored a late winner for Shelbourne.

With 10 changes to the side that were put out of the EA Sports Cup by the same opposition earlier in the week, Shelbourne began as if they’d a score to settle.
