Sat 11 Nov 2002Shelbourne revive hopesBohemians...1 Shelbourne...2Heavy rain fell on Dalymount Park last night, and with it came a bad result for the Bohemians supporters. A Shelbourne goal in either half sank the league leaders, their first defeat of the season. All this in full view of one of the biggest crowds seen at their home ground in quite a while, and for the first time through the live TV3 cameras.It was a disciplined performance from Shelbourne, one which has seen them close the gap on the league leaders to six points, and also opened up the title race for another few weeks at least.
