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.

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.

Shamrock Rovers more than played their part in one of the most enthralling endings to the season doing their job to overcome an impressive Waterford, but was ultimately in vain due to Shelbourne’s late winner in Derry. Having been written off by many in the title race and finding themselves an incredible 13 points behind Shelbourne at the start of September, The Hoops had shown tremendous consistency to take it to the last day.

Georgia may be seeking political independence but they succumbed to the natural order of European football against a dominant Ireland side.

Storm Ashley played havoc with this national decider but Shelbourne didn’t expect the breeze to steer the coin toss in their favour.
