Champagne on ice for Shamrock Rovers as Derry City game off

The Hoops were due to be presented with the championship trophy after the game with Derry City at Tallaght Stadium.

Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley has praised the club for their faith and patience in him and his staff following their SSE Airtricity League title success.

Rovers clinched their record-extending 18th League of Ireland crown without having kicked a ball in over three weeks as arch-rivals Bohemians, second to them in the table, lost 2-0 at home to Finn Harps last Saturday night.
