Bohemians – Shamrock Rovers

In a tightly contested league clash at Dalymount Park, Bohemians fell 1‑2 to title‑leaders Shamrock Rovers, allowing the Dublin side to stretch their lead to 56 points at the summit. The defeat left Bohemians on 53 points from 30 games, sitting third with a +17 goal difference, while Rovers improved to 56 points with a +17 margin of their own after 30 matches. The result also tipped the head‑to‑head balance this season in Rovers’ favour, as they now hold two wins to Bohemians’ single victory from their three meetings. With Bohemians still boasting 15 wins and 8 draws, the loss narrows the gap but keeps the race for the championship very much alive.
