Galway United 0 Shamrock Rovers 2

A late flurry of action brought two goals and two red cards as Rovers stayed well in contention at the top of the table.

Rovers winger Billy Woods was the first to be sent off on 72 minutes for retaliating to challenge from Billy Woods.

Seven minutes later Marc Kenny shot Rovers in front following a free kick.

United were then reduced to ten men when defender Tom Silke was sent off on 84 minutes for a tackle from behind on Tony Cousins.

Shane Robinson added the second goal in stoppage time to give Rovers a flattering win.
