SHELBOURNE RAN OUT 7-2 winners over Bohemians in the Dublin derby today. 

Mackenzie Anthony put Shels ahead, with Katie Malone then getting Bohs back on terms. 

The home side pressed on but could not convert any of the chances they created, and then Rebecca Cooke put Shels back ahead. The Reds then capitalised on their advantage with further goals from Leah Doyle and another from Anthony.   

Rachel Graham got the final touch for an own goal which brought Bohs back into it, 4-2. Pearl Slattery then scored two headers at the other end as Shels pulled away again, with Kate Mooney adding the last in the 89th minute.
