Bohs clinch back-to-back U19 titles after first-half Reghba finish

Craig Sexton’s men completed a famous double and in doing so defender their U19 league title.

BOHEMIANS ARE SSE Airtricity U19 champions after a 1-0 win in front of roughly 1,300 fans at the home of their fierce rivals, Shamrock Rovers.

Craig Sexton’s men defended their title thanks to a neat Ali Reghba finish five minutes before the break.

The striker — who netted two goals on his senior Bohs debut last month, and is reportedly being watched by Wolves and Leicester — rounded Rovers keeper Kian Clarke to tap home what would prove to be the title-clinching goal.

Victory for Bohs sealed a historic double as they added the league to their Enda McGuill Cup success earlier this year.
