Shamrock Rovers have regained top spot in the League of Ireland Premier Division with a dramatic 1-0 defeat of old rivals Bohemians at Tallaght.

Padraig Almond scored the winner ten minutes from time while League of Ireland record goalscorer Jason Byrne skied a late penalty over the bar for Bohs.

Rovers now hold a two-point advantage into the final six games of the season.

Man of the match Aidan Price is delighted that the Hoops could scrape the win,

"We're delighted you know I don't think it was a great game to watch to be honest I think it was a scrappy kind of game.

"But it showed it was a little bit cagey when the game started but it showed what's at stake you know so we did well we dug in and we took our chance when it came." In the Louth Derby, Drogheda United rescued a 2-2 draw with Dundalk, and Bray lost 3-1 to Galway.

In the First Division, the top of the table clash ended in a draw Shelbourne and UCD 2-2 at Tolka Park.

Monaghan and Sporting Fingal also ended 2-2 at Century Park.

Wexford Youths bounced back from their loss last week to defeat Limerick 2-0 and Mervue won 1-0 at basement side Kildare.
