MATCH REPORT // SHELBOURNE 0-0 DUNDALK
Dundalk begin 2008 with a scoreless draw at Tolka Park against Shelbourne. Sound boring? Not quite. Chris Bennion received his marching orders in the first half and Dundalk spent the final 13 minutes with only nine men after Ben Whelehan was forced to retire through injury. Dundalk could have won the match late on after Ian Ryan was denied by a miracle save by Dean Delaney and Robbie Martin smacked a header against the crossbar. Pure drama. Match Report online>>

GILL READY FOR TOLKA BATTLE
