Shelbourne off mark as Rovers draw blank again

Shelbourne 0 Shamrock Rovers 0

For Rovers, still to concede a goal, it was their third scoreless draw in their four games of the campaign and they now trail champions Sligo Rovers by six points.

The Hoops had an early let-off when goalkeeper Barry Murphy dallied on a backpass and was robbed by striker Dean Kelly. But Murphy recovered to scoop the ball to safety.
