Shels miss Byrne for trip to Longford

League champions Shelbourne will have to do without leading scorer Jason Byrne for tonight’s clash with Longford Town (ko 8pm).

Irish international Byrne, who took his tally for the season to 12 goals in 14 games with a penalty in the midweek draw against Cork City, limped out of that game with a hamstring problem and has failed to recover in time for the trip to Flancare Park.
