Week 7 brings us a match on Mar 18th, where Shelbourne and Finn Harps will play a match in Dublin in a clash of the Premier Division. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, Shelbourne recorded a 1-1 draw against Dundalk. Hoban scored the first goal for Dundalk in the 70th minute, but Sean Boyd got the equalizer for Shelbourne in the 85th minute earning Shelbourne at least a draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10, while in their last match, Finn Harps recorded a 0-2 loss against St Patrick’s. Scott scored the first goal for St Patrick’s in the 65th minute, then Eoin Doyle added another in the 78th minute In the end, Finn Harps was frustrated by St Patrick’s’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. St Patrick’s ended the match with the shutout victory. Finn Harps looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Finn Harps’s top weapon lately has been Ryan Connelly, who has 2 goals in the last 5 matches. Coyle and Daniel Hawkins are the top scorers for Shelbourne in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
