Shelbourne survived a Shamrock Rovers bombardment to clinch a 2-1 historic victory at Tolka Park following a spirited and gutsy display at home on Friday night.

Treaty United welcome Cobh Ramblers to the Market’s Field on Friday night as they look to start the season with a win (kick-off is at 7.45pm).

Ten points isn't truly reflective of their efforts all season and 17 points is a wide gap to ninth position.
