With left-back Tyreke Wilson and Martin two changes from last week’s surprise home defeat to Sligo Rovers, Shelbourne, as expected, saw plenty of the ball from the off.A free-kick from Dundalk winger Daryl Horgan was hoofed clear from the Shelbourne penalty area. The visitors nonetheless soon enjoyed their first little spell of possession with the lively Ryan O’Kane shooting off target.
Minutes later Caffrey might have done better than glance a header wide from Wilson’s pinpoint cross as Dundalk’s goal remained intact following an uninspiring first half of action.Shelbourne substitute Liam Burt cleverly linked with Caffrey to carve an opening before rifling narrowly wide.
