Kelly’s brace fires Shels past brave Bandon

Dean Kelly put non-league Bandon to the sword at Tolka Park as Shelbourne eased into the third round of the cup.

Striker Kelly used his head to put the Premier Division side ahead on 21 minutes and killed off the west Cork side with a deftly taken side-footer on the hour. Substitute Mark Leech added a third late on.

Bandon can be proud of their display, though, as they weren’t overawed in the least early on and confidently created the game’s opening chance after six minutes.
