Ciaran Kilduff special helps Dundalk past Shelbourne

Dundalk 2 Shelbourne 0

The Louth men had taken a 21st minute lead through Daryl Horgan but were struggling to break down their opponents before Kilduff emerged off the bench to seal the win with a superb overhead five minutes from time from Darren Meenan’s corner.

Kilduff’s inclusion had come as a huge surprise given the fact he had broken two vertebrae in his back just 33 days earlier.
