Bohemians making a case and in the LOI and within two points of the top

 

Suddenly, we are seeing a resurgent Keith Long Bohemians making an all-around statement in the LOI getting into its most competitive stages, after winning back to back matches and within striking distance of the league leaders Shamrock Rovers.

After the Hoops have surrender points in their last three games, so far this is becoming a race for the top with two Dublin teams. In other news around the league the Vinnie Perth era came to an end after the defending champions Dundalk have been delivering not so favorable results.

In other results the Finn Harps win gives them confidence after the Boys from Ballybofey delivered a win over the Blues, in Derry City win over decimated City and Sligo upsetting the Lilywhites.

Back in Tallaght the Shamrock Rovers and Shelburne FC shared the spoils in another Dublin Derby with a clean sheet for both sides, marking the second match Stephen Bradley Hoops end with a tie.

Shamrock Rovers 0-0 Shelbourne

Back in Brandywell Ryan McBride Stadium, the local Candystripes put on a three-goal show to deliver more misery to Neale Feann Rebel Army and put his team in last place and within relegation spots.

With scores from Derry’s Walter Figueira 50’, followed Adam Hamill 53’ and Oluwaseum Akintunde in the 90’, the Candystripes rally in the second half after City had the lead in the 3’ Joseph Olowu goal.

Derry City 3-1 Cork City

In the Dublin Derby played at Dalymont the local Bohemians took an important step in their race to the top held by the Hoops with a clean sheet and a convincing win over Liam Buckley Pats.

For the Gypsies, the first half became providential with scores of Anthony Breslin 16’ and Andre Wright 24’ to deliver a win at home and win this edition of the Dublin Derby.

Bohemians 2-0 Saint Patrick’s Athletic

In the Showgrounds the local Rovers delivered an important win over the defending champions Dundalk without a manager after Vinnie Perth being fired after the team poor results.

Sligo went up the scoreboard with Regan Donelon in the 12’ and coming in the second half with scores from Ryan de Vries 51’ and Chuckwemenka Uzokwe 62’, for the Town Stefan Colovic score in the 77’.

Sligo Rovers 3-1 Dundalk

On Sunday’s game at RSC we were witness to a goal fest between local Waterford and the Finn Harps, where the visitors came from behind in spite an OG against them but still rallied for the win.

The local Blues went up with an OG from Harps Shane McEleney 3’ and later John Martin 83’ but in the end this was the Harps game with scores from David Webster 82’, Alexander Kogler 87’ and Adrian Delpa score in the 90’.
