SHELBOURNE FOLLOWED UP last week’s remarkable comeback victory away to Galway United with a shock home defeat to Cabinteely this evening.
The home side took the lead inside seven minutes thanks to new signing Oscar Brennan but Conor Keely’s penalty on the stroke of half-time had them level pegging at the break.
Rob Manley and Kieran Waters scored twice in the space of three minutes with just 20 minutes remaining to give the visitors a commanding lead heading into the closing stages.
Ciaran Kilduff’s late consolation goal – his third in two games – wasn’t enough to earn a share of the points for the league favourites.

Joe Doyle and Paul Keegan were on target at the Carlisle Grounds as the home side retained their flawless record.
Elsewhere tonight, Galway United got their season back on track with a convincing 4-0 win away to Wexford FC.
Donal Higgins and Conor Barry gave the home side the lead heading into the break before Maurice Nugent all but wrapped up the points of 62 minutes.
