Here To See The Shelbourne

Show Notes

After a huge away win at St Pats, we go through the nerves, the atmosphere and the awful start the team survived, then the halftime tactical change that turned the game. Are the players finally playing for John Russell? We also cover the big-game mentality, the crowd flashpoints and the rivalry debate, including whether things went over the line at Richmond Park. Then there's Ali Coote's reckless red card, a close look at the defence options. On the women's side, we look at the draw with Athlone, Becky Watkins' big equaliser and the standout performers, and then preview whether Shels can finish the job against Galway. **Please take a moment to rate and share the show** Get In Touch.
