Waterford's unbeaten run ends as Rovers edge thriller to move top (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul Buttner reports from Tallaght Stadium SUBSTITUTE JOHN McGOVERN scored a double inside five minutes as Shamrock Rovers twice came from behind to get back to winning ways in a rollercoaster clash at Tallaght Stadium. The champions were the last side a resurgent Waterford lost to back in mid-June and Blues’ 13-match unbeaten run came to an end here. Victory, their first in four league games, restored Rovers place at the summit, for 24 hours at least. But they were made to work extremely hard f

TEENAGER SAM ROONEY scored a glorious first senior goal for the club as St Patrick’s Athletic produced a comeback for the ages to knock holders Shamrock Rovers out and book their place in Tuesday’s Club Orange FAI Cup quarter-final draw. Trailing 2-0 at half-time to goals from Jonathan Afolabi and Michael Noonan, Saints came very much alive in the second half to avenge three defeats to their rivals this season in a rip-roaring, rollercoaster Dublin derby. Luke Turner pulled a goal back early on

JONATHAN AFOLABI SCORED what proved the winner with his first goal for Shamrock Rovers as the champions stretched their lead at the top of the Premier Division table to 10 points.

Without their in

LEFT TO RUE a combination of missed chances and some sloppy defending, Bohemians succumbed to defeat on a frustrating night in their Conference League third qualifying round first leg at Tallaght Stadium. Though Midtjylland enjoyed more of the ball and showed at times why they finished third in the league phase of the Europa League last season, Bohemians caused them problems, if lacking a cutting edge in the final third. A VAR penalty check going against them scarcely helped. Goals in each half
Shamrock Rovers take big step towards play-off round with impressive first-leg victory (opens the original)

Paul Buttner reports from Tallaght Stadium SHAMROCK ROVERS PRODUCED another stirring performance at Tallaght stadium to leave themselves on the cusp of the play-off round of the Europa League. Skipper Roberto Lopes and Aaron Greene added to Graham Burke’s first-half penalty to put Hoops very much in the driving seat ahead of tomorrow week’s second leg in the Balkans. Last week’s rousing 2-1 win over Ararat-Armenia fell just short of keeping Stephen Bradley’s side in the Champions League qualifie
