Students look to teach Shels a lesson


Shelbourne and UCD go head-to-head in the eircom League Cup semi-final tonight at Tolka Park with silverware in both club’s sights.

With a possible Setanta Cup place up for grabs to the winner of the competition, the League Cup is more valuable than last season, though both sides insist the fact the game is a semi-final is all the motivation they need.

Shelbourne and UCD meet at Tolka Park on Monday night in the semi-final of the League Cup. The competition represents Shelbourne's last chance for silverware this season while UCD have gotten this far without treating the competition too seriously.

It's the most over used headline of all time. If they win it will be students teach Shels a lesson too.

"Students Taught a Lesson" is not used quite as much as "Shels Shocked" which I think has appeared at least ten times a season in the 25 years I've been following Shels.
And fair play to College for their victory last night.

And there's usually a Saints and Scholars reference around at least one of the UCD v Pats games.
