Occean brace for Odds Ballklub sinks outclassed Shamrock Rovers
Rovers’ international trio of Keith Fahey, Stephen McPhail and, of course, latest star acquisition Damien Duff were all reduced by injury to the role of onlookers at the game, a significant blow to the Hoops’ aspirations of putting it up to a Norwegian side with its own five-strong helping of internationals firmly on board.
As relentless as the black clouds which came scudding in off the Dublin mountains to dump teeming rain on the pitch, the red-shirted Odds got numbers forward at every opportunity, living up to Pat Fenlon’s billing of the opposition as a side who would not be content to sit back away from home.
