A superb shot two minutes from time struck from the left boot of Aaron Greene into the back of the net earned Shamrock Rovers the win in a hard fought Dublin derby against Shelbourne on the banks of the River Tolka on Friday evening.

Andy Lyons had put the Hoops a goal up inside two minutes of the start of the game but Shels rallied in the second half to equalise through Shane Farrell before Greene struck from distance to send the Rovers supporters packed in the Ballybough End of the ground into raptures.
