Leinster Senior Cup
Shelbourne-2
Bluebell United-0
A goal just shy of half time and another right at the death saw Bluebell United exit the Leinster Senior Cup at the semi final stage on Monday.
The LSL Senior Sunday champions represented amateur football well in the contest, but ultimately couldn’t make the final stages.

Two former amateur players combined to give the home side the lead on 41 minutes. Former Junior International, Kilbarrack and Darndale front man James English fired home Regions Cup winner and Crumlin favourite son Greg Moorhouse’s knock down to give Shel’s a half time lead.
