Dublin Tournament/Shelbourne 2 Leeds Utd 0: Shelbourne put in an impressive performance to upset Leeds in the third place play-off at Tolka Park yesterday.
First-half goals from Gerard Rowe and Stuart Byrne were enough for a win that will boost Shels' confidence ahead of Thursday's UEFA Cup Clash with Olimpija Ljubljana in Slovenia.
Leeds looked sloppy despite fielding a number of first team players, and look to have a lot of work to do before opening their Premiership campaign at home to Newcastle on Saturday.
Michael Duberry will not figure in that game - the central defender will be out for up to eight weeks with a broken cheekbone incurred in a clash with Aston Villa's Juan Pablo Angel on Saturday.
Lucas Radebe replaced Duberry against Villa. Leeds lost the game 4-2 on penalties after a 2-2 draw.
SHELBOURNE: Williams, Heary, Crawley, Rogers, Kenna, Hoolahan, Morgan, S Byrne, J Byrne, Rowe, R Baker. Subs Used: Gannon for Heary, McCarthy for Crawley, Geoghegan for J Byrne (All HT), D Baker for Rowe 53, Graglen for Morgan 61, Brough for Hoolahan 70, Bennion for Williams 78, Kinsella for R Baker 78.
LEEDS: Marytn, Mills, Domi, Morris, Matteo, Camara, Barmby, McPhail, Sakho, McMaster, Wilcox. Subs Used: Lennon for Barmby, Woods for McPhail, Harte for Sakho, Milner for Wilcox (all h-t).
