Shamrock Rovers 4, Shelbourne 0

Report courtesy of extratime.ie

In a game that was attended by the President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins and which also started 10 minutes late because of crowd congestion, Shamrock Rovers hammered Shelbourne by four goals to nil to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League table. Goals from Gary Twigg, Ronan Finn, Aaron Greene and a Stephen Hurley own goal gave the champions the victory. It was an eventful opening to say the least in Tallaght. In the 3rd minute Aaron Greene played a fine ball in behind the Shelbourne defence. Billy Dennehy got to it first. Through on goal, he was taken out of it by Dean Delany. Stand in referee Derek Tomney gave a penalty and then sent off Delany, who shook his head in disbelief at the decision.
