Orange was the appropriate colour donned by Cork City as despite the sunniest day of the year they felt a relegation gale warning. Their survival prospects won’t be defined by another humbling from runaway leaders but the manner of this meek surrender, a week after Bohemians schooled them at home, will cause alarm. A bright start for the visitors was soon punctuated by 16-year-old Michael Noonan being allowed to slalom into the box and fire the opener for Shamrock Rovers beneath Tein Troost.

Personal joy for Michael Noonan in a week of family anguish. The gaze of the nation was already affixed to the 16-year-old striker before he was referenced in the central criminal court last week. As Noonan’s father Andy was jailed for 13-and-a-half years arising from a serious case involving a heroin seizure, the judge highlighted the consequence of missing his son’s blossoming career. A few hours later, the teen was living up to that tag by scoring in the comeback win at Waterford.

Incessant rain caused this reschedule from February but a deluge of Shamrock Rovers goals gave Cork City that sinking feeling. A third straight defeat for City against a heavily rotated Hoops was their biggest since returning to the top-flight, capping City’s points total from the first series of nine matches at a measly seven. It underlines the task ahead to avoid repeating their 2023 dogfight which ended in the drop via the playoffs.

Shamrock Rovers earned their first win of the season overcoming title rivals St. Pat’s thanks to a stunning second half solo goal from Danny Grant in a hotly contested Dublin Derby. Rooted to the foot of the table at kick-off but with a game in hand on the rest, The Hoops, who have started slowly in recent seasons, showed no signs of panic and emerged confident as they looked to reign in those above.

A European run that stretched across 16 games, seven months and three competitions – Champions, Europa and Conference leagues - is finally over for Shamrock Rovers after a cruel penalty shootout exit that will leave them stewing over plenty of regrets. Nine of the penalty kicks were sublime. Only Aaron Greene’s failed to cut the mustard and that proved the difference between earning and losing the right to play a Conference round of 16 tie against either Cercle Brugge or Legia Warsaw next month.
