Shelbourne 2 Bohemians 4

Third-place Bohemians trounced table-toppers Shelbourne in a tempestuous clash at Tolka Park tonight. Their resounding victory came courtesy of a blistering seven minute period in the second half in which they bagged 3 goals.

Before that however, Shelbourne’s Irish U-21 international U-21, Richie Foran, had ensured he would have a place in the headlines too.

Foran, in the latest event in a controversial debut season, received his fourth red-card of the campaign for an off-the-ball incident that left Dave Hill flat on the Tolka Park turf.
