Shels staring at the drop after Limerick defeat

Shelbourne are staring a return to the First Division in the face after a solitary goal from Rory Gaffney gave Limerick a 1-0 win at Thomond Park.

An eighth defeat from their last ten games now means that should second-bottom Bray Wanderers, who are three points ahead, get a point at Bohemians tomorrow night Shelbourne will suffer automatic relegation.
