Shelbourne looking to a long stay in the top circuit


Seven years passed by when Shelbourne FC was in the Premier Division of the League of Ireland, after their sensational season in the first division, now these are looking forward too many years in the League of Ireland Premier Division. 

Among the first order of business, the directives of the Reds went into the task of extending manager Ian Morris contract ahead of their debut on the top circuit and looking forward to a successful one. 

Not only did Shel's front office went hard at work too in signing a few payers that can boost this team game as well as looking ahead in a campaign that will keep this side in the top not only in 2020 but many years to come. 

The direct promotion put manger Morris hard at work to get the ideal players to compete in what seems to be a new challenge in another contested season ahead in the LOI as the main idea for them is to show off why they are called the Real Reds. 

With new faces coming to Tolka Park in Drucomdra up in Dublin, these are looking forward to net important and positive results in the always celebrated Dublin Derbies against the Bohs, Hoops, and Pats. 

That’s why the club has brought important if not players that will make a difference in this season, with striker Aaron Dobbs from Longford Town, Cambridge United midfielder Gary Deegan, midfielder Alex O’ Hanlon from NIFL side Glentoran.

In addition to other new faces coming to Drucomdra in forward Karl Sheppard coming from Cork City, midfielder Georgie Poyton from Waterford, and possibly many more players to come before the start of this new season.

As defense wins games and the Shels last season lost a few games after letting their foes come from behind and this an area the Reds are in a big need to improve as that experience in first division will be far different when these make their debut in the Premier League. 

The need to concentrate and improve defensively is a must for the Shels looking to extend their permanency in Premier Division and become a true contender in this season and wrap up with a notable finish among the top five spots. 

For the Shels, these ready to enter in action and making their debut on the road against Cork City in always difficult Turner’s Cross were the Rebel Army is not easy prey and this season looking to improve and return to its winning ways. 

In addition of their second game at home in Tolka Park against the defending champions, Dundalk FC reinforcing his squad and coming as the overall favorite to repeat in the league top, not easy it looks the endeavor for the Reds.
