Finn Harps -v- Shelbourne

Winning leagues is not an easy task but four draws in the last six games have not helped Shelbourne’s title hopes one bit. (kick-off 7:45pm) Whilst draws against UCD and Sporting Fingal can be marked down as decent results, Dermot Keely has lost valuable points with stalemates against Limerick and Athlone Town. Now sitting seven points behind UCD, one more loss for the Tolka Park outfit and the Students will only need one win in their last two games to take top spot and win promotion.

Realistically, a win in Finn Park is a must. With Anto Flood and Peter Hynes back and a full squad to pick from, Dermot Keely will be hoping to do just that over a Harps side with nothing left to play for this season. James Gallagher’s men however will have no pressure on them and Shels have failed to pick up a win in Donegal since dropping to the First. Nail biting times for the Dublin side.
