On a groundbreaking night for the League of Ireland, one man dominated everyone's thoughts. It was fitting that on the day of Ollie Horgan's passing, Shamrock Rovers and Shelbourne sealed a historic night for the league, both qualifying for the Europa Conference group stage.

Next Sunday's meeting of Shels and Galway United, where Ollie was assistant manager until he stepped away due to illness earlier this month, has been postponed until next weekend as a mark of respect.
