Why Shels over achievers? They are an extremly good side who play ball on the deck and lets face it let Dundalk get promoted...once shels learn to close out games and punish teams properly they will be back in the premier. Then they will give Dundalk their cummuppance!!!!

i travelled the country up and down last season supporting shels, and even ventured to oriel some thursday nights to watch our rivals! Dundalk only won the league due to our inexperience, we played far more football and every neutral will agree shels were the better side last season. congrats on promotion but football was the real loser in the first division last season!!!;) shels will win league this year against far better competition than last in sporting franchise, limerick & Mons!!
