Ed McGinty save denies Shelbourne victory in Tallaght

A sublime second-half save from Ed McGinty ultimately denied Shelbourne victory as the expectation of goals from this Dublin derby, on the evidence of 12 from their three previous meetings this season, failed to materialise at Tallaght Stadium.

Shamrock Rovers may perhaps be the happier of the sides as the result moved Stephen Bradley’s champions six points clear at the top of the table in their quest for a sixth title in seven years ahead of next week’s visit to second-placed St Patrick’s Athletic.
