10-man Shelbourne stun Shamrock Rovers to extend their wait for the title

Shelbourne managed to spoil the Shamrock Rovers party in the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division on Friday.

A draw would have been enough for the Hoops to wrap up the title in Tallaght.

Kerr McInroy scored, and despite a red card for captain Paddy Barrett, the Reds hung on for a 1-0 win.

Dundalk have secured their Premier Division status for next season.

A 3-0 win over Finn Harps at Oriel Park sees the Lilywhites claim the First Division title and automatic promotion.
