Former Wexford and Bray Wanderers attacker Ger Shortt inspired them to the three points against Tolka with a hat-trick.

His exploits were aided by the contributions of Aidan Friel and ex-Cabinteely winger Paul Fox - who both netted. 

Tyrick Reilly and Phillip Gannon both scored for Tolka Rovers.

Meanwhile, St Mochta’s kept in touch with leaders Lucan by defeating strugglers Liffey Wanderers.

Former League of Ireland striker Gareth McCaffrey scored a brace for Brian McCarthy’s men - while Aaron Sheehan netted for Liffeys.
