And then there were two! It's been an unpredictable League of Ireland title race but coming into Friday's climax, the picture is clear for the two clubs left standing.
SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division leaders Shelbourne know a win at Derry City live on RTÉ2 and the RTÉ Player will end an 18-year wait for league glory regardless of what happens elsewhere.
But should they lose or draw, then Shamrock Rovers - holders of the goal difference advantage - will win a record fifth title in a row if the Hoops beat Waterford at Tallaght Stadium in a match which will also be broadcast simultaneously on the RTÉ News channel and RTÉ Player.
But last time Rovers welcomed Waterford to Tallaght Stadium they fell to a 3-1 defeat back in May, although Stephen Bradley's side won the season's two other head-to-heads on the road at The RSC.
Meanwhile, Shels have met Derry four times this campaign, drawing all three league fixtures but losing 2-0 to the Candystripes in September's FAI Cup clash.
So can Damien Duff's side buck that trend on Friday night and get their hands on the league trophy?
Former St Patrick's Athletic and Shamrock Rovers goalkeeper Barry Murphy isn't that optimistic about Shels' chances of winning up at the Brandywell, as he and former Republic of Ireland, Saints and Drogheda United winger Keith Treacy joined the RTÉ Soccer Podcast to preview the final day and share their contrasting title destination predictions.
