Match Report
Bohs Strikes Late To Earn A Point in Derby
Goals from Jack Moylan and Ali Coote give Bohemians and Shelbourne a tense 1-1 draw in a spiky encounter at Dalymount Park this evening.
Moylan netted against his old team with a beautiful solo effort in the first half but a 74th minute stunner from Coote levelled the game and shared the spoils between the two sides.
Neither side move up the table, but after their big win this evening, Dundalk are now just three points behind Bohemians with the same amount of games played.
The opening exchanges saw little in the way of clear cut chances but there were a few dicey moments for James Talbot as he was forced to slide tackle in his own box after an under hit back pass by Kristian Nowak.
JJ Lunney stung the palms of Talbot on the quarter hour mark with the Bohemians keeper springing across to two strong hands to the Shelbourne midfielders long-range effort
Bohemians had a great chance to open the scoring when Afolabi flicked a tidy pass around the corner for McManus to the right of the Shelbourne box. The teenager crossed for Danny Grant who got up time but fresh aired the header.
Shelbourne would go right down the other end and score after this big chance, and it was always going to be the former Bohemians man – Jack Moylan – who would make the difference.
After playing the ball around the back, Hull loanee Harry Wood spun and lifted a ball over the top towards Moylan. The man bound for Lincoln, with his trademark languid style, ghosted between two defenders before finding the bottom corner, giving Shelbourne a vital leading goal.
Moylan was running the show in the first half and when the ball was in play, Shelbourne’s number 10 was causing Bohemians’ Polish centre backs all sorts of issues.
Shelbourne were able to let the seconds tick by on the game clock with a series of injuries in the first half causing several of stoppages as the first half drew to a close.
Bohemians made a change at half time, bringing Bart Kukulowicz on for Adam McDonnell and it made an instant impact as captain Keith Buckley was able to keep ball moving more fluidly in the midfield as well as allowing Jordan Flores to get further up the pitch.
And the Bohemians full back thought he had brought his side back level when he diverted the ball home after Afolabi competed with Kearns after a long ball, but the referee adjudged the Gypsies striker to have fouled the Shelbourne keeper so the goal was ruled out.
Shortly after an interruption cause by Kearns tying his laces, Bohemians were level thanks to a beautiful strike form Ali Coote. The Scottish attacker received the ball from an Afolabi layoff, and when he saw he had the room to get a shot away, he didn’t hesitate in smashing the ball past Kearns at his near post.
After long range efforts for both sides through Will Jarvis and James Clarke, the home side played all of the football. But Declan Devine’s men were unable to overcome Damien Duff’s white wall as the side share the points.

The Shelbourne time wasting continues as Kearns takes off his gloves to tie his laces. Bohemians fans are not happy about it.

HALF TIME: Bohemians 0-1 Shelbourne

Shane Griffen fouls Coote and is booked for kicking the ball away. From the resulting free kick Coote whips the ball in towards the head of Nowak, who heads just wide of the Shelbourne goal.
JJ Lunney picks up the first yellow card of the game after cynically pulling down Clarke to stop a Bohemians counter attack.
Moylan almost produces a moment of magic as he created space in the box from nowhere before getting tackled and winning a corner.
McManus concedes a soft foul and the referee goes to check on Caffrey who had been on the ground for over a minute after losing the ball. The Shelbourne player is recieving treatment and the game is stopped.
The home fans are becoming more and more frustrated with the officials as they feel that Afolabi is being thrown around by the Shels defence. And they have a point.
Moylan again causes havoc in the Bohemians box after pinching the ball of Radkowski, but Nowak does enough to shepherd the ball back to Talbot.
Shels go up the other end and score and of course it's Jack Moylan with the goal, turning the defence inside out with his trademark laid-back dribbling style before passing the ball into the bottom corner. What a goal!
Afolabi finds McManus with a beautiful dinked pass which allows him to cross for Grant but the winger fresh airs the header.
James Clarke spins on the edge of the box creating a yard of space for himself and fire at goal, winning a corner after the ball was blocked.

JJ Lunney fires a shot from outside the box that looks to be spinning away from the Bohemians keepers, but Talbot manages to spring across to palm the ball away.
Radkowski head towards goal from a corner and is parried away by Kearns. The keeper gathers at the second attempt of asking before being hit late by James Clarke.
Early scare for Bohemians as Nowak leaves the ball short for Talbot, with the keeper having to slide tackle in his own box to get the ball to safety.
And we are underway at the Dalymount, Bohemians are in their regular red and black strip while Shelbourne are in all white.
