In the 3rd/4th place playoff of the Dublin Tournament staged at Tolka Park this afternoon Pat Fenlon's eircom League side had a morale boosting 2-0 win over Leeds United.

Striker Ger Rowe headed home their first goal after just seven minutes when he latched onto an in-swinging Richie Baker free kick.

Baker was also involved in the second just before the break, running freely at the Leeds defence before playing midfielder Stuart Byrne through on Nigel Martyn to slot the ball home from ten yards.

Shelbourne played a near full strength side with Leeds starting Irish midfielder Stephen McPhail, Nick Barmby and also new signing Jody Morris.
