Shels get five past Vikings

Shelbourne 5 Waterford United 0

Jason Byrne made it eight goals in four matches with his second hat-trick in a fortnight as Shels cruised to this facile win.

Wes Hoolahan put Gary O’Neill through to shoot past Packie Holden for the opener on 15 minutes.

O’Neill then whipped over a corner from the left for Jason Byrne to head Shels’ second 12 minutes later.

A terrific overhead kick from Byrne from Bobby Ryan's cross made it 3-0 on 38 minutes before Ryan again provided the assist for the hat-trick in the final minute of the first half.

O’Neill added the fifth four minutes after the break.

Blues then had Kevin Waters sent off a minute later for a bad challenge on Colin Hawkins.
