SSE Airtricity League – First Division

Shelbourne FC v Limerick FC

Saturday, September 21

Tolka Park

19:45

Shels boss Ian Morris has said this Saturday’s home game against Limerick FC will be a “day to remember” but maintains he wants to sign off in style with a win.

Shels will lift the SSE Airtricity League First Division trophy on Saturday night having won the title in Drogheda last Friday with a famous 3-1 win.

Morris was full of praise for Limerick manager Tommy Barrett, who he said has “done an unbelievable job” given some off-field issues around the club.

“He deserves as much credit as he can get. They’ll be a difficult team to play against and are hard to predict with players who can hurt you,” he said.

“We want to win the game, and then leave the celebrations until after the final whistle. We want to have as high a final points tally as possible,” Morris told shelbournefc.ie.

However, Morris said he wants the “atmosphere to be electric” as he is still feeling the excitement from last Friday night.

“The genuine thank yous you get and the tears along with the raw emotion showed what everyone felt and what this club means to people,” he said.

“It’s all about the connection with the fans and players with everyone pulling in the same direction. It’s been a fantastic season,” he said.

Saturday’s game with Limerick sees the last of Dean Delany, who has the fourth-highest number of appearances for Shels, in a red shirt after 11 years total service with the club.

Morris describes Delany as a “legend” who he “can’t speak highly enough of” after bringing his unbelievable experience and talent to the promotion winning season.

“He was the last person off the training pitch everyday and his condition was unbelievable for a player of 39 years.

“His professionalism and the way he manages the changing room is incredible and I can not speak highly enough of him.

“With his family and kids he can celebrate his achievements on Saturday after an amazing 23 year career,” he said.

Shels have no suspensions or injuries other than long-term absentees Dan Byrne and JR Wilson to note ahead of tomorrow’s game.

Injured: JR Wilson, Dan Byrne

Suspended: None

Doubtful: None

SSE Airtricity League – First Division
Drogheda United FC v Shelbourne FC
Friday, September 13
United Park
19:45

Shels boss Ian Morris has praised the Reds faithful as “the best in the league” this year and expects tomorrow’s sold out Shels crowd to be “crucial.”

Shelbourne travel to Drogheda United tomorrow in what represents a critical game in the Reds’ promotion hopes.

A win guarantees the SSE Airtricity League First Division title and a return to the Premier Division with Drogheda just three points behind with two games to go.

“You see the numbers that are travelling. With that atmosphere, it could feel like a home game to us,” Morris toldshelbournefc.ie.

Drogheda are the highest scorers in the division and Morris said “their position in the table doesn’t lie” as he is expecting a “tough game”

“They score a lot of goals, while conceding a lot as well. They look to outscore the opposition but you see the last couple of games between us have been close competitive games,” he said.

Morris said the Shels players are “hungry and focused” heading into what could be described as the biggest Reds game in years.

“We’ve approached this game as we have every other game, nothing has changed, we’ll be looking for three points as we would every game,” he said.

Despite being one win away from the First Division title, Morris said they will “put that to the back of our minds.”

However, he believes “there is no grey area” around permutations for the league, knowing a win gives the Reds the all elusive promotion.

With a sold out United Park for Friday night’s game, the Shels head coach said he has enjoyed the wealth of knowledge being shared between experienced players and the younger ones.

“We’ve sat down a couple of times and it’s been great to have the input that we’ve had. The younger players are very lucky to have some of the characters and pros we have.

“It’s a great dressing room, but that doesn’t mean the younger players haven’t given great input themselves,” he added.

Morris says he is facing an “unbelievably good selection headache” with a near fully fit squad outside of long term absentees JR Wilson and Dan Byrne.

Injured: JR Wilson, Dan Byrne

Suspended: None
