Shels and Bohs set for derby battle at Dalymount

SHELBOURNE will be hoping their impressive start to life in the SSE Airtricity Premier Division will continue tonight when they take on Bohs in a North Dublin derby at Dalymount Park (8pm kick-off).

Ian Morris’s side saw off the challenge of St Patrick’s Athletic at Tolka Park last Friday night (1-0), giving them six points from a possible nine.

Bohs also have six points but have played a game more than the visitors and Keith Long’s team will be hoping to get back to winning ways after a 2-0 defeat up in Derry last weekend. 

Jordan Flores ignited the domestic season with that wonder strike in the Tallaght thriller between Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk last Friday night. Now it’s over to Shels and Bohs to provide another night of top class entertainment!

Meanwhile, Shelbourne’s fixture away to Finn Harps, which was postponed because of bad weather a fortnight ago, has been rescheduled for Monday, March 16 (8pm).
