Shels to hold benefit for heart-attack fan

Shelbourne are to stage a benefit night later this month for supporter Sean Lynch. The Shels fan suffered a heart attack in La Coruna when Pat Fenlon’s side were in the Spanish city to play Deportivo in a Champions League qualifier in August.

He subsequently required a leg amputation and the club has booked Clontarf Castle on Sunday, October 17, to raise funds for Mr Lynch.
