TOLKA PARK REVIEW SHELBOURNE 1-2 DUNDALK FC

Dundalk’s first league game at Tolka Park since 2013 ended in victory on Friday night as goals from Andy Boyle and Patrick Hoban sank Shels in the teeming rain.

Boyle opened the scoring against his old club when he found himself ideally placed at the far post to tap home after

Dane Massey flicked a Michael Duffy corner into his path.

Duffy was the provider for Dundalk’s second in the 43rd minute with Hoban’s glancing header whizzing past Shels goalkeeper Jack Brady.

Gary Deegan made a real game of it in the second half with a stunning effort but the Lilywhites dug in deep to

secure the win.

DUNDALK FC: Gary Rogers; Sean Gannon, Sean Hoare, Andy Boyle, Dane Massey; Chris Shields, Jordan Flores (Darragh Leahy 89); Cammy Smith (Daniel Kelly 58), Greg Sloggett, Michael Duffy (Brian Gartland 85); Patrick Hoban. Subs not used: Aaron McCarey (GK), Will Patching, Daniel Cleary, Lido Lotefa.
