eircom league: Shelbourne 2 Bohemians 1

Shels almost took an early lead when Glen Crowe played a one-two involving Bobby Ryan but was unlucky to see his shot strike the inside of the post.

Bohs were down to 10 men after 15 minutes when Des Byrne was dismissed following a late tackle on Owen Heary.

After the break it was Bohemians who scored first when Tony Grant converted Stephen Ward's cross.

Shelbourne hit back and Glenn Crowe scored the winner when he met a cross from Ryan to score from 8-yards boosting Shelbourne's slim hopes of regaining their title.
