Full Time: In a game that saw little between the sides, it was always going to take something small to break the deadlock in a tense match between Bohemians and Shelbourne. Emily Whelan's goal in the first half was all that separated the sides as Shelbourne kept their impressive form intact while Bohemians will be ruing their bad luck once more. In what was a very solid defensive and organised performance from the home side, a soft header back in the direction of goalkeeper Courtney Maguire was all that Whelan needed to slot the ball past her opponent to take the three points back to Tolka Park. This result means Shelbourne maintain the pressure on leader Peamount United while Bohemians will be looking to add more to their attacking game next week.

Stapleton tries her luck in the dying seconds but it goes over the bar.

Mulligan comes on to make an appearance in the final minutes.

Bronagh Kane comes off in the last minute.

Lisa Murphy comes on to replace her.

Brophy did get some joy down the right hand side in the first half but her chances were few and far between in a very solid performance.

Aoife Robinson nearly makes a dream impact with a header at the back post that just goes over, a bit of direction and it could have caused Shelbourne some problems.

Robinson has had a big impact scoring from the bench will today be another one of those days?

A tough game for Chemaou feeding off scraps as she comes off.

Katie Lovely comes on to replace her.

Bohs make their first sub of the day as Cahill comes off.

The goal scorer Emily Whelan comes off, will her goal be the deciding one?

White comes on for the final quarter of the game.

Emily Whelan finds herself in the area after a high ball is sent into her and she was unmarked, she hits the effort on the volley but it goes high and over the bar.

From a corner, Jessie Stapleton gets a free header by the back post and her powerful effort is saved well by Maguire.

Burke's free-kick is sent in but the keeper collects with ease, there was pace on the ball and could have troubled the keeper but she gathered with ease.

The first attacking effort for Bohemians in the second half sees a corner come into the area but Sophie Watters couldn't get a proper connection on the ball.

Big chance to make it 2-0 as Jamie Finn breaks free in a sweeping attacking move but her effort just goes wide of the post.

Dodd comes on to replace the injured Ziu

Jessica Ziu comes off with an injury

It looks like Jessica Ziu's game is finished and will be replaced.

There is a pause in the game as a Shelbourne player has gone down injured, Bohemians players to their credit were told to put the ball out of play and they did so in order for the player to receive attention.

A fantastic stop by Maguire to deny Noonan a second goal as he pulled off an excellent save one on one. The ball sent cleared for a throw in.

We are back underway for the second half, Shelbourne kicks us off and we are back underway.

HALF TIME: It has been the tale of two teams performances, Bohemians very solid approach to defending against a very fluid and attack-minded Shelbourne side. It will be interesting to see what approach will come in the second half.

Almost a calamity for Bohemians but Maguire it seemed let the ball run across the face of goal but she got down to catch the ball at the last second.

End to end stuff here as both sides look to get a real foothold in the game, Bohemians starting to get a little bit of luck with their forward play and are getting some sights on goal all the while Shels are looking to press with a high line against the Bohemians defence.

And Shels have taken the lead, Isobel Finnegan's header back to Maguire was weak and Emily Whelan was on hand to latch onto the loose ball and score with ease.

It appears that Bohemians have identified the right side of the Shelbourne defence as a weak spot as every time they counter-attack it's played down that flank with Abbi Brophy and Erica Burke linking up.

Emily Whelan breaks for the left and sends the ball into Saoirse Noonan in the area but her effort as she took her shot across the face of goal goes well wide of the mark.

Jamie Finn breaks into the area and avoids a tackle to hit a speculative effort at Maguire in the Bohemians goal but her effort was always rising, the angle was tight for the Shels player.

Big chance for Noelle Murray to open the scoring, a cross from the right fell to the forward on the edge of the area but she pulls her shot wide of the Bohemians goal. Her reaction to the effort said it all.

Murray's free-kick takes a deflection off the wall and its a corner, it was a free kick in a dangerous position for the away side but they failed to test Maguire in the Bohemians goal.

The opening exchanges have seen Shelbourne look to take it to the hosts, they have had a series of sights on goal but none of consequence. Bohemians have held firm in defence and are looking to play a counter-attacking game against the visitors. For the majority of the opening exchanges, Bohemians have been pegged into their own half.

KICK OFF: We are underway at the Oscar Traynor Centre, Bohemians kick us off for today's match.

Bohemians are out warming up as we speak, the one big absentee is Niamh Coombes with the Bohemians number one not featuring in the match day squad.

Bohemians have made three changes from last week as Maguire, Cahill and Chemaou replace Coombes, Erica Byrne and Flynn.

For Shelbourne Rebecca Creagh and Alex Kavanagh are still absent with long term injuries while Chloe Mustaki is in the final stages of her return from injury but she won't feature today.

If conditions are the same here in HQ as they are in the Oscar Traynor Centre then they are perfect for football. We will have the team news as it happens up on the system.
