Bohemians edge past Rovers

Bohemians are through to the League of Ireland Cup final after a 1-0 win over bitter rivals Shamrock Rovers at Dalymount Park.

Despite being reduced to 10 men following Mark Rossiter's 16th minute dismissal for a second booking, the under-fire home side held firm to settle the contest.

Bohemians have stuttered in the league and players and management were booed following the 3-0 away defeat to bottom side Longford Town at the weekend.

But Sean Connor's men showed good character against their city rivals tonight with Glen Crowe scoring the only goal of a tight game after 59 minutes.

Derry City and UCD contest the other semi-final.
