Shels expected to be at full strength for Glentoran tie

Shelbourne midfielder Stuart Byrne believes that the eircom League champions can put their bad run behind them once and for all with a victory over Glentoran in the Champions League first round tie.

Shels face Glentoran at The Oval tomorrow and next week in Tolka Park and, having won five of their last six games and previously suffered a seven game run without a victory – their worst run since 1994 – Byrne is confident that another victory would mean the disappointment of May and June would be forgotten.
