DUBLIN (Interstat) — Shelbourne FC opened its League of Ireland Premier Division season with a 3-2 victory over Bohemians at Dalymount Park on Sunday.

Ross Tierney put the visiting Reds ahead in the 17th minute, but Bohemians’ Jordan Flores equalized four minutes later. John Martin restored Shelbourne’s lead before halftime. A late goal from Harry Wood sealed the win for Shelbourne, with a stoppage-time strike from Kerr McInroy providing a consolation for the hosts. Four yellow cards were issued in the match. Shelbourne, which entered with a strong record in European competitions this season, defied a pregame projection that favored the home side.
