Shelbourne frustrate Shamrock Rovers in scoreless draw

A brilliant double save from Niall Burdon late in the game earned Shelbourne their first point of the season as they frustrated Shamrock Rovers in a scoreless, though immensely entertaining, draw at Tolka Park.

Champions Sligo Rovers were the only winners, though, as they remain five points clear at the top of the table and six ahead of title favourites Rovers, who have now played out three 0-0 draws in their opening four games.
