Shelbourne – Bohemians

Shelbourne were held to a goalless draw at home by Bohemians, leaving the hosts still perched in sixth place with 36 points from 29 games (eight wins, twelve draws and nine defeats, a -3 goal difference). Bohemians, who sit third on 53 points after 30 matches (fifteen victories, eight draws and seven losses, a +17 goal difference), failed to break the deadlock despite their superior league position.
