Dublin Bus 0 Shelbourne 2 SHELBOURNE’S greater experience and fitness proved paramount as they recorded a deserved victory over a well-organised Dublin Bus at Tolka Park last night.
Shelbourne’s dominance was rewarded 12 minutes before the interval when Mark Hughes turned superbly to feed strike-partner Philip Gorman, who tapped home from close range.
Shelbourne’s progress was assured when substitute Dinny Corcoran pounced on 88 minutes to slot home past a helpless Declan Woods.
