Stephen Bradley hails Shamrock Rovers as Dundalk’s title hopes fade

Gary Shaw’s fifth minute strike ensured the Hoops won away to the champions for the first time since September 3, 2011 and afterwards manager Stephen Bradley declared it a huge step towards cementing third place.
“I always felt that Dundalk and Cork were that bit too far ahead,” said Bradley. “We still have a lot to play for though and we showed today we’re ready to compete with the top teams.”
